1969123970Folio. London: Trianon Press 1969. Folio 17 colour and one monochrome facsimile leaves and 9 pp of commentary by Sir Geoffrey Keynes. Very fine in quarter brown morocco over marbled boards in slipcase as issued. § Limited to 526 copies this is copy #313. The frontispiece “The Ancient of Days†is surely Blake’s most famous single image. "The second of Blake's "Continental Prophecies" preceded by America and followed by The Song of Los Europe presents in mythopoeic form the fundamental philosophical positions in conflict in Blake's revolutionary era. Historical events are reconfigured into their universalized representations through Blake's own cast of characters including Enitharmon the female personification of fallen nature and history Orc the spirit of revolt and Los and Urizen the "Eternals" who would become central to Blake's mythic system of the "Zoas." These contending forces lead beyond political revolution to an apocalypse of biblical scope." The William Blake Archive. At the end is reproduced an extra etched leaf of text that Blake only included in two copies which tell of a fairy that Blake caught who sang him a song about the five senses of man.Europe survives in only fourteen known copies few complete all but one held by institutions. The remarkable Blake Trust Trianon Press facsimiles hand-colored using pochoir with extraordinary fidelity are for most of us the nearest possible thing to handling the original book. Martin Butlin noted in the Blake Quarterly: “The long list of color facsimiles produced by the Trianon Press under Arnold Fawcus for the William Blake Trust were above all objects of beauty recreating as near to perfection as possible Blake’s original achievements.†Bentley Blake Books 34.

Lamb says in his preface that he "wished to make these Tales easy reading for young children.for young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to wrote because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are they frequently have the best of Shakespear by heart before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book";<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Hugh Walpole was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s with a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels five volumes of short stories two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre children's stories and historical fiction most notably his Herries Chronicle series set in the Lake District. He worked in Hollywood writing scenarios for two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films in the 1930s and played a cameo in the 1935 version of David Copperfield. As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one a married policeman with whom he settled in the English Lake District. Having as a young man eagerly sought the support of established authors he was in his later years a generous sponsor of many younger writers. He was a patron of the visual arts and bequeathed a substantial legacy of paintings to the Tate Gallery and other British institutions. wikipedia. 1302843. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. M. J.
