18635924London: Macmillan 1863. First edition. Bentley said it better than we can: "Never has an important literary reputation been posthumously established so effectively instantaneously and forcefully. Gilchrist's title 'Pictor Ignotus' had not been mere showmanship. Blake had been unknown and Gilchrist made him sensationally well-known. From 1863 on Blake took an unchallenged place in literary and artistic history as one of the great figures of the Romantic Movement. Gilchrist's biography is still in many respects the best biography of Blake" pp. 12-13. 24 cm; 2 volumes. i-v vi-xv 1-389; i-v vi-vii 1-3 4-268 pages and 66 plates including the "Job" engravings and 16 plates from electrotypes of the copperplates of "Songs of Innocence and of Experience." Text illustrations. Folding plate of Canterbury pilgrims in volume 2. Bound in roughly contemporary red half morocco over marbled boards with gilt-tooled compartments on spine with original gilt-stamped morocco covers laid down on front pastedowns in both volumes. Binding somewhat worn at joints and edges but this is a sound copy internally without blemish. Reference: Bentley Blake Books 1234A. Macmillan hardcover books
