19261087888vo. London: Noel Douglas 1926. 8vo 70pp.Original paper over boards with title on spine and clear glassine wrapper. Pages unopened. Near Fine. § Trade edition of this handsome facsimile of the very rare original edition of 1783. Bentley 132. “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.†Noel Douglas hardcover books

A definitive work on this subject and still a classic after 30 years. From the dustjacket: "Historically the reader will trace the growth of folk pottery from the small one-man establishments producing hand-done products to large factories with mass-produced items in the hundreds; he will not further the changes in materials and productive methods the standardizing of ornamentation and motifs and the refining of techniques for shaping stamping and glazing pottery. Graphically the scholarly yet entertaining text is supplemented by more than 300 black-and-white photographs of early American and Canadian stoneware - from crocks inkwells porringers and the proverbial jug to bottles banks and Blind Pigs."
