A William Blake Milestone: the First Account of His Life. 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.

1798100653All 4 full-page copperplate engravings after Fuseli signed by Blake as the engraver. London: J. Johnson 1798. All 4 full-page copperplate engravings after Fuseli signed by Blake as the engraver. Matted good impressions of the plates complete with the imprints untrimmed. § One of Blake’s scarcer works seldom seen in the trade or at auction; there was also a volume on English history published in the same year. We have had one other copy in the last seven years and one other separate set of the plates. The plates are strong and lively renditions of moments such as the death of Cleopatra; with the recent discovery of an original drawing by Fuseli for Allen’s English History now in the Essick Collection we now are quite sure that the illustrations for both volumes were drawn by Fuseli.

The three maps are lacking. All other illustrations are present in good condition but including usual offsetting and a few showing minor mottling and browning. Plate XI stated in the List of Plates to be a Bartolozzi engraved plate designed by Cypriani from an original onyx Camaio by the Greek artist Tryphon is the correct plate although in fact it bears no plate No. and the imprint " G. B. Cipriani Del I.K. Sherwin Sculp.". Although Bartolozzi normally signs his studio's plates J. K. Sherwin was an apprentice of Bartolozzi's and presumably was allowed to sign his engraving in this instance. The plate's design matches "The Marriage of Eros and Psyche" from Tryphon's Camaio in the Duke of Marlborough's Collection see e.g Wikipaedia: "The Marlborough Gem". Bentley BB 439.
