Engraved frontispiece by Robert Cromek after the design by William Blake and Haye and three plates one folding map. xlviii 172 pp. 1 vols. 8vo 25 x 15.5 cm. A book of paramount importance to Blake studies. Malkin was a personal friend of William Blake with whom he shared an interest in radical politics and on the death of his gifted six-year-old son Thomas in 1802 Malkin commissioned Blake to design the frontispiece for Malkin's FATHER'S MEMOIR. In his Preface to this work Malkin gives what the DNB calls the "first and fullest" account of Blake's early life and career and it was with this very tribute to his friend's idiosyncratic genius that Malkin first gave impetus to a more general appreciation of William Blake's art.

It was founded by Philip Gilbert Hamerton and promoted contemporary printmaking especially etching and was important in the British Etching Revival. Early contributors included Francis Turner Palgrave 18241897 and Sidney Colvin 18451927. The mid-nineteenth century in France and Britain saw a rise in the interest in etching. Hamerton had spent the 1860s in France with his French wife Eugénie. The impetus for the launch of The Portfolio came in the wake of the foundation in Paris of the Société des aquafortistes in 1862 and to a lesser extent from the longer established Etching Club from 1838. Etchings by many French etchers such as Paul Rajon 18431888 and Alfred Brunet-Debaines 18451939 were a marked feature of the publication. Indeed The Standard remarked in 1874 that the publication's "speciality as probably most people know is the etchings with which it is adorned." Rajon published twelve etchings in the periodical before his untimely death. The New York Times lavished praise on the publication when in 1875 it remarked that it could not "eulogize too highly the merits of this periodical in all its departments. It is without question the most beautiful in regard to illustration which emanates from the press." The late nineteenth-century British author George Gissing wrote in his diary for December 1895 sic. that he took the magazine for his son because of its good pictures. In a survey of the etching revival in 1878 the Magazine of Art highlighted the centrality of Hamerton and his monthly magazine which had "so ably and unceasingly pleaded the cause of etching" in Britain. Wikipedia ______________________________________________________________________ Philip Gilbert Hamerton 10 September 1834 4 November 1894 was an English artist art critic and author. He was a keen advocate of contemporary printmaking and most of his writings concern the graphic arts. He was an important theorist of the English Etching Revival. Hamerton was born at Laneside a hamlet near Shaw and Crompton Lancashire England. His mother died giving birth to him and his father died ten years later. When he was about five he was sent to live with his two aunts at an estate called the Hollins1 on the edge of Burnley where he attended Burnley Grammar School. Hamerton's first literary attempt a volume of poems was unsuccessful leading him to devote himself for a time entirely to landscape painting; he camped out in the Scottish Highlands where he eventually rented the former island of Inistrynich in Loch Awe upon which he settled with his wife Eugénie Gindriez the daughter of a French republican magistrate in 1858. Discovering after a time that he was more suited to art criticism than painting he moved to Sens and later to Autun3 where he produced his Painter's Camp in the Highlands 1863 which was very successful and prepared the way for his standard work on Etching and Etchers 1866. In the following year he published Contemporary French Painters and in 1868 a continuation Painting in France after the Decline of Classicism. He had by now become art critic to the Saturday Review which necessitated frequent visits to England forcing him to give it up. He proceeded in 1870 to establish and edit an art journal of his own The Portfolio a monthly periodical each number of which included of a monograph upon some artist or group of artists often written by him. The journal championed printmaking especially etching. He selected and wrote the accompanying text for Etchings by French and English Artists London: Seeley 1874 which included work by Alphonse Legros and Léon Gaucherel. The discontinuation of his painting gave him time for writing and he successively produced The Intellectual Life 1873 perhaps the best known and most valuable of his writings; Round my House 1876 notes on French society by a resident; and Modern Frenchmen 1879 admirable short biographies. He also wrote two novels Wenderholme 1870 and Marmorne 1878. In 1884 Human Intercourse another volume of essays was published and shortly afterwards Hamerton began his autobiography which he brought down to 1858. In 1882 he issued a finely illustrated work on the technique of the great masters of various arts under the title of The Graphic Arts and three years later another splendidly illustrated volume Landscape which traces the influence of landscape upon the mind of man. His last books were: Portfolio Papers 1889 and French and English 1889. In 1891 he removed to Villa Clématis in the Parc des Princes district of Boulogne-Billancourt in the southwest suburbs of Paris. He died there suddenly on 4 November 1894 aged sixty occupied to the last with his labours on The Portfolio and other writings on art. In 1897 'Philip Gilbert Hamerton: an Autobiography 18341858; and a Memoir by his wife 18581894' was published. Wikipedia hardcover

1878List3694Boston Massachusetts: White Smith and Company 1878. Folio 13 ½ x 10 ½ inches. 6 pp. Wraps fully split else near fine with some very light foxing and soiling to wrap overall very attractive. Very good. An early phonograph-related sheet associated with the French soprano Marie Roze née Hippolyte Ponsin 1846–1926 whose participation in early demonstrations of Thomas Edison’s tinfoil phonograph was widely publicized in 1878. Contemporary reports identify Roze as the “celebrated prima donna†depicted singing into the phonograph in an engraving produced for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper New York April 20 1878 following a demonstration of the machine at Steinway Hall earlier that year. The same engraving was subsequently reused across multiple promotional formats including tickets to phonograph exhibitions advertising circulars and early phonograph-themed sheet music such as Phonograph. March Brillante.<br /> <br /> Related promotional material includes a poster advertising exhibitions of Edison’s new tinfoil phonograph in Toronto on May 28 1878 which employs the identical image of the prima donna singing into the apparatus beneath the heading “Edison’s Phonograph!†The poster announces daily demonstrations featuring singing speech and explanatory lectures illustrating the standardized visual language used to market the invention during its first year of public exhibition.1<br /> <br /> Roze an internationally known operatic soprano who later became Mrs. Henry Mapleson was connected with early phonograph demonstrations intended to showcase the recording and playback of trained vocal performance. The engraving linking her image to the machine circulated widely in print culture during 1878 appearing in illustrated journalism and promotional ephemera tied to touring exhibitions. Overall a very nice copy of what was an iconic image at the time. Blake was a highly prolific composer of over 5000 songs the most famous of which is Rock-a-Bye Baby.
