20071232832007. New York: Center for the Book Arts 2007. <br /> <br /> Large 8vo 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 ins. 36pp. title-page and 12 poems on loose folded sheets each illustrated in a variety of media and signed on the verso by the illustrator. All contained in an orange folding paper wrapper. Fine.<br /> <br /> § Number 13 of an edition limited to 39 copies in all. A collaborative artist book in portfolio created by eight women students at the Center for Book Arts in New York under the direction of master printer Barbara Henry representing in letterpress and illustration twelve poems from William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience. Each of the nine leaves is signed by the artist-printer. <br /> <br /> The poems and their illustrators are: The Garden of Love by Delphi Basilicato; The Fly by Amy Bronstein; A Dream by Bonnie McLaughlin; The Human Abstract by Amber McMillan; The Laughing Song/The Poison Tree by Sarah Nicholls; The Shepherd/The Tyger by Michelle Raccagni; The Blossom/The Sick Rose by Rosie Schaap; Infant Joy/Infant Sorrow by Louisa Swift; Title-page by Barbara Henry.<br /> <br /> The poems in the Songs of Innocence and of Experience contrast the spiritual freedom of childhood with the binds and hypocrisies of the adult world and are at once philosophical political and radical. Blake wrote engraved printed and colored the Songs himself making him arguably one of the first creators of an artist's book and an excellent subject for these women book artists of the 21st century. unknown

The letter is classic Blake to his great patron: "I hear a voice you cannot hear that says I must not stay I see a hand you cannot see that beckons me away. Naked we came here naked of Natural things & naked we shall return; but while clothed with the Divine Mercy we are richly clothed in Spiritual & suffer all the rest gladly."Bentley Blake Books 94.

1808123891Single plate. London: Cadell and Davies 1808. Single plate etching on wove unwatermarked paper full margins cleaned. § From the first 4to edition. One of Blake's most memorable images. It was designed by Blake and engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti. Bentley Blake Books 435b."In October 1805 Blake was commissioned by the engraver and would-be publisher Robert H. Cromek to prepare forty drawings illustrating Robert Blair's The Grave a popular "Graveyard" school poem first published in 1743. Cromek planned to select twenty of these designs for a deluxe edition of the poem. In Cromek's first prospectus of November 1805 Blake is named as both the designer and engraver of fifteen designs. Blake etched one image Deaths Door in white-line but Cromek rejected it. The dark power of the white-line print appeals to modern tastes but was far from fashionable in the early nineteenth century. In a second prospectus also of November 1805 Cromek announced that Luigi or Louis Schiavonetti would engrave twelve designs for the new edition. Blake had lost the potentially lucrative commission to engrave his own designs; his relationship with Cromek descended into anger and argument. In spite of their disagreement Cromek included a portrait of Blake as a frontispiece to the volume published in 1808. Cromek promoted the book aggressively and the illustrations to The Grave became Blake's best known work through much of the nineteenth century."
