Contemporary mottled calf with gilt borders on both covers. Backstrips and labels chipped covers rubbed with minor loss of calf hinges considerably worn yet sound. Armorial bookplate of Mrs Gosling in all three vols. § Second edition final state of the “Weatherhouse†plate designed by Blake. Hayley’s position as the most respectable and considerable literary figure who had known Cowper made him the inevitable choice to write the definitive work. Blake was living with his wife at Felpham and she helped him make and print the engravings for their old friend and patron Hayley however “the plates for vols i-ii are much more clearly and darkly printed in the second edition so indicated on the title pages than the first. Perhaps many of the lines were cut more deeply when the plates were converted in their second states but more careful inking and printing could account for the considerable tonal differences. One hesitates to blame Mrs. Blake for the poor impressions of the first states but that may indeed be the case†Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations 86. Bentley Blake Books 468 A.

Emilia Blake Gowing 1846-1905 "married an actor whose stage name was Walter Gordon in 1887 and worked as an actress and elocutionist; she also did recitations.

She published three novels of a fantastic tendency in the period: AS CAESAR'S WIFE 1902 BY THAMES AND TIBER 1903 and A KING'S DESIRE 1904. The half-English half-Italian heroine of BY THAMES AND TIBER gets lost in the Roman catacombs and dreams for half the book of the sacrifice of a martyr ancestress in the days of Nero. A KING'S DESIRE is Saharan and Ruritanian: the monarch of a tiny German state loves an Englishwoman of mysterious parentage." - Kemp Mitchell and Trotter Edwardian Fiction p. 157.

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.

Gilchrist was Blake’s first full-scale biographer. The work was unfinished when he died and largely completed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti who wrote the final chapter from Gilchrist’s notes with help from his brother William Michael and also Swinburne whose own book on Blake was the result of his researches when reviewing Gilchrist’s book.
