1881110436Archival inkjet print. London: Colnaghi printing after 5 March 1881. Archival inkjet print 93.9 x 30 cm. printed by E.M. Ginger of 42-Line in Oakland CA. Framed. § Fine facsimile print of William Blake’s Canterbury Pilgrims 5th and final state. The reproduction by 42-Line is so good it is virtually indistinguishable from an original print.“‘Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims’ was one of Blake’s major attempts at building a reputation as a painter-engraver and achieving the sort of critical and financial success that had escaped him for so many years.…†However Blake wasn’t to meet with the critical success he had hoped for and the competition created when Thomas Stothard executed a plate of the same subject caused him to become bitter. “Most contemporary connoisseurs probably found the print old-fashioned and ‘Gothic’ in the pejorative sense.… The record of prices brought by the print at auction indicates that it has attracted strong interest from collectors only in the last few years†Essick pp. 86-88. Blake made substantial changes in the fourth and fifth states of this famous plate and “it is only in the last two states of the plate that we find Blake’s mature artistry as an original printmaker bringing to his largest and most ambitious single print the same techniques distinguishing his Job and Dante engravings.†Essick Separate Plates of William Blake XVI and see William Blake Printmaker.

The Hesiod Works and Days and Theogeny follows the Iliad and Odyssey and collates: - 4 half title and contents list of plates 37 plates being original engraved title plus 36 of the Blake engravings. The Aeschylus follows as the last. Generally very good internally with occasional foxing at ends of the volume. The binding has been repaired at some stage: due to the oblong format and weight of the pages the first signature is loose but the remainder holding firm. § Bentley BB 456. This reduced-size edition appears to be a re-issue of Bentley's C edition of 1881 by Bell only the Hesiod being present is implied by Bentley for that edition. 4 volumes in one of Flaxman's designs reduced to half size from Blake’s original prints for use by art students including Blake's designs for Hesiod published in 1817.

Original Muir wrappers not bound in. § Possibly one of the copies Quaritch had for sale as recently as 1942 when their catalogue records only 31 copies had been published rather than the 50 first envisaged and of these 31 at least some were still being offered for sale. The facsimile is convincing enough that plates from it have been offered as originals on occasion. Copies in such fine condition are almost unheard of. Bentley BB 249m. William Muir hardcover books
