DNB notes: “Possibly his greatest achievement however was his didactic poem Triumphs of Temper 1781 which ‘was to reform the entire feminine mind of England by the advice’ Bishop 53. This allegorical work aspired in rhyming couplets to teach young women the virtues of a pleasant nature. Its advice was heeded by some: Emma Hamilton thanked Hayley ‘for the lessons she had learnt from the poem’ p.Jaffe Drawings by George Romney 1978 44 and asked Romney to inform Hayley that his poem ‘made me Lady H. … for Sir W. minds more temper than beauty’ ibid. Triumphs of Temper ran into fourteen editions and proved to be the most durable of all his publications.†Bentley BB 471. Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations XLIII. J.

1868124106London: John Camden Hotten 1868. Second edition of Swinburne's work on seminal Romantic poet William Blake. Octavo original cloth with illustrations from Blake's designs in facsimile including 6 hand-colored plates. In very good condition. Bookplate. English poet painter and printmaker William Blake is widely considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. He produced a diverse and symbolically rich oeuvre which embraced the imagination as "the body of God" or "human existence itself". Although Blake was considered somewhat mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views he is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work.

1973CNJL1048London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1973. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 340 of 750 quarto size unpaginated. "The Book of Ahania" is one of Blake's lesser-known works and is generally agreed to be a continuation of "The Book of Urizen" with Ahania being the feminine manifestation of Urizen signifying pleasure. According to Geoffrey Keynes' Description this text " .along with "The Book of Los" were some of the last of the series of Illuminated Books completed by Blake while living in Lambeth. The manner of their execution suggest that he was wearying with the effort of making the splendid books that preceded them and was seeking for a less laborious method of production. Blake completed only one copy of each book and then laid them aside as if dissatisfied with his experiment. He never included either of them in any list of his productions and is not known to have disposed of them to any customer or patron. They therefore remained unknown until late in the nineteenth century." <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly-regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter blue morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrip lettered in gilt six colour plates reproduced by the collotype and pochoir process printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake; quarto size 11.5" by 9.25" unpaginated 6 plates and 5 pp. commentary limited edition no. 340 of 750 of the regular edition with 808 total copies.
