Reports on the Crab and Lobster Fisheries of England and Wales Scotland and Ireland

187717982London: George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1877. SCARCE. Hardcover. Very Good. SCARCE. Hardcover. SCARCE. A surprisingly interesting collection of reports on crab and lobster fisheries in the United Kingdom. It includes an appendix of natural history information but focuses on interviews with fishmongers and fisherman about their customs experiences and recommendations for future regulations in the trade. The reports detail differences in fishing practices standards and terminology within each region. Depending on the region different sizes of crabs and lobsters were considered to be acceptable for selling. Some regions reported significant hardships and recommended placing limits on catching given the sparsity of their catches. At the time it appears there were no federal regulations regarding size limits and it seemed to be a common opinion amongst fisherfolk that if regulations were set and enforced populations of crabs and lobsters might increase. Names of individuals interviewed along with particulars about their fleets practices and fish related thoughts are included in detail. The overall consensus seemed to be that there were noticeably less crabs and lobsters in recent years circa 1877 than 5 to 10 years prior; although this varies by region. Each interviewee seemed to have a different opinion as to why or how to fix the situation. Tall 8vo. Bound in navy cloth covered boards with original blue paper wrappers bound in as second endpaper. Interior very clean and bright with occasional pencil notations. Volume complete with three appendices a frontispiece foldout map and 8 folding illustrations of crabs and lobsters to the rear. Period bookplate to front pastedown. A scarce item in very good condition. NAT/070106. George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode hardcover

'Then the Lord answered Job out of the Whirlwind' Plate 13 from 'Illustrations of the Book of Job'

1825122290London: William Blake for John Linnell 1825. Fine. London William Blake for John Linnell 'Published as the Act directs March 8: 1825' in fact 1826. An original engraving printed surface 195 × 148 mm plus the credits paper size 377 × 271 mm matted with archival board and behind glass in a simple but apposite polished wooden frame visible image size 237 × 187 mm external dimensions 540 × 448 mm. Paper lightly cockled with a tiny closed tear to the bottom margin of the sheet well clear of the printed surface; essentially in fine condition. 'William Blake's "Illustrations of the Book of Job" primarily refers to a series of twenty-two engraved prints published 1826 by Blake illustrating the biblical Book of Job. It also refers to two earlier sets of watercolours by Blake on the same subject 1806 and 1821. The engraved "Illustrations" are considered to be Blake's greatest masterpieces in the medium of engraving and were also a rare commercial and critical success for Blake' Wikipedia. Plate 13 quotes Job 38:1-2 and 28 'Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind / Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge . Hath the Rain a Father & Who hath begotten the Drops of the Dew' and Psalms 104:3 'Who maketh the Clouds his Chariot & walketh on the Wings of the Wind'. The Blake authority G.E. Bentley Jr 'Blake Books. Annotated Catalogues of William Blake's Writings in Illuminated Printing .' Clarendon Press 1977 records that 'According to Linnell's "Job" accounts 150 "Proof" sets on India paper watermarked J WHATMAN TURKEY MILL 1825 and 65 on French paper watermarked J WHATMAN 1825 were printed by Lahee in March 1826. Then the word "Proof" was removed from the plates though it is still faintly visible on the copperplates and in some pulls and 100 sets were printed on drawing paper'. The example we have for sale is one of the latter group printed after the word 'Proof' was removed from the original copperplate. William Blake [for John Linnell] unknown
