107341Chichester. Printed by J. Seagrave and sold by him and P. Humphry et al. for W. Blake 1802. Frontispiece 250 x 174 sheet 175 x 160 platemark mm printed in black on wove paper. Recently cleaned trimmed close to the right plate mark but not touching it other margins wide. § Frontispiece to the first edition of the rarest letterpress publication containing engravings by Blake Hayley's Ballads 1802. The frontispiece Adam and the Beasts is one of Blake’s most alluring images. The illustrations were drawn engraved printed and published by Blake himself. The work was a financial disaster and unfortunately Blake had borne most of the publication costs. He was eventually reduced to reusing unsewn sheets of the 1802 Ballads for sketch paper. Geoffrey Keynes writing in 1921 states: “This edition of the ballads is now extremely rare.†Bentley Blake Books 466. Easson and Essick William Blake Book Illustrator vol. 1 VI.

Number 381 of 600 folio size unpaginated 28 pp. "William Blake's early tractate 'All Religions are One' consists of ten small etched plates averaging in size only about 5.5 x 4 cm. There is some uncertainty about the circumstances in which the work was produced though it is generally accepted that is must belong to a period of experimentation in the production of the plates for the Illuminated Books." n.b. from the book's notes. <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was also held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter green morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrip lettered in gilt ten plates reproduced by the collotype process printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake; folio size 12" by 9.25" unpaginated with 28 pp. limited edition this no. 381 of 600 of the regular editions 662 total editions.

This is copy #3 signed priced and numbered by Muir. "In the first of his "Continental Prophecies" see also Europe and The Song of Los Blake explores the radical paradigms of political repression and revolt through a highly imaginative treatment of the American Revolution. While historical figures such as Washington and Paine appear much of the symbolic and thematic weight is placed on Blake's own invented mythological figures including "Albions Angel" and "Londons Guardian" forces of the British government Urizen the god of restrictive reason and the origin of political repression and fiery Orc the spirit of revolt. The American Revolution is viewed as a harbinger of universal revolution epistemological as much as political." The Blake Archive. Eighteen copies of the original are known to exist. William Muir's facsimiles of Blake's works were the most ambitious and in many cases the first of their kind until the Trianon Press began work for the Blake Trust in 1951. Upon establishing the Blake Press at Edmonton his goals were clear: "My desire and intention is to reproduce ALL the important works by Wm Blake that exist in book form and also some of his finest designs and this by methods of working as nearly the same as Blake himself used as the need of maintaining fidelity to his results will allow. I will not use either photography or chromolithography. All outlines are drawn and all the colouring is by hand. I produce fifty copies only of each book and each of them is numbered".Keri Davies writes "‘Muir’s facsimiles not only made Blake’s works in “Illuminated Printing†accessible for the first time in reliable copies and helped establish Blake’s reputation as visual artist alongside his reputation as poet but I feel must also have contributed to the most advanced ideas in English art of the 1880s."
