1868108778Small 8vo. London: Pickering 1868. Small 8vo xiv 96 pp.A good copy in original cloth with a small amount of wear at spine ends and the paper label on spine darkened and with two small chips. Rear end paper slightly foxed and one or two spots on occasional pages but internally the book is a clean copy with just a touch of dusting to page edges. § First printing after the exceedingly rare edition of 1783 known in about 24 copies. Bentley BB 129. “The original 1783 copies were seventy-two pages in length printed in octavo by John Flaxman's aunt who owned a small print shop in the Strand and paid for by Anthony Stephen Mathew and his wife Harriet dilettantes to whom Blake had been introduced by Flaxman in early 1783. Each individual copy was hand-stitched with a grey back and a blue cover reading "POETICAL SKETCHES by W.B." It was printed without a table of contents and many pages were without half titles. Of the extant copies eleven contain corrections in Blake's handwriting. Poetical Sketches is one of only two works by Blake to be printed conventionally with typesetting; the only other extant work is The French Revolution in 1791 which was to be published by Joseph Johnson. However it never got beyond the proof copy and was thus not actually published.Even given the modest standards by which the book was published it was something of a failure. Alexander Gilchrist noted that the publication contained several obvious misreadings and numerous errors in punctuation suggesting that it was printed with little care and was not proofread by Blake thus the numerous handwritten corrections in printed copies. Gilchrist also notes that it was never mentioned in the Monthly Review even in the magazine's index of "Books noticed" which listed every book published in London each month signifying that the publication of the book had gone virtually unnoticed. Nevertheless Blake himself was proud enough of the volume that he was still giving copies to friends as late as 1808 and when he died several unstitched copies were found amongst his belongings.†Wikipedia Pickering hardcover books

4115The document amends an agreement regarding publication of a biography of Blake by Al Rose and Schirmer Books a division of Macmillan. The first change states that "The publisher shall copyright the Work in the names of Al Rose and Eubie Blake." The second change denotes payments of royalties. Blake is the last to sign above his typed name "Eubie Blake." Jazz historian Al Rose signs just above. Schirmer pulbished "Eubie Blake" in November 1979. With long time collaborator Noble Sissle Blake wrote the Broadway musical "Shuffle Along" in 1921 one of the first Broadway musicals to be written and directed by African Americans. Blake's compositions included such hits as "Bandana Days" "Charleston Rag" "Love Will Find A Way" "Memories of You" and "I'm Just Wild About Harry". The musical "Eubie" which featured the collected works of Eubie Blake opened on Broadway in 1978. unknown books
