Bindman Complete Graphic Works of Blake 465-476."In October 1805 Blake was commissioned by the engraver and would-be publisher Robert H. Cromek to prepare forty drawings illustrating Robert Blair's The Grave a popular "Graveyard" school poem first published in 1743. Cromek planned to select twenty of these designs for a deluxe edition of the poem. In Cromek's first prospectus of November 1805 Blake is named as both the designer and engraver of fifteen designs. Blake etched one image Deaths Door in white-line but Cromek rejected it. The dark power of the white-line print appeals to modern tastes but was far from fashionable in the early nineteenth century. In a second prospectus also of November 1805 Cromek announced that Luigi or Louis Schiavonetti would engrave twelve designs for the new edition. Blake had lost the potentially lucrative commission to engrave his own designs; his relationship with Cromek descended into anger and argument. In spite of their disagreement Cromek included a portrait of Blake as a frontispiece to the volume published in 1808. Cromek promoted the book aggressively and the illustrations to The Grave became Blake's best known work through much of the nineteenth century."

Blind-stamped black cloth rebacked with black cloth lettered in gilt. § Third quarto edition printed from the same plates as the 1813 edition but actually issued by or for John Camden Hotten in 1870. Of this version Essick wrote: “I've also seen the true 1813 text and plates in a very similar cloth binding with just a few differences in the blind stamping but very much the same style and period. My theory on that is that Camden Hotten who produced the 1870 issues not only got the copperplates from Ackermann with the Spanish inscriptions for de Mora but also some remainders of the impressions and letterpress and bound these up in a slightly different just the blind stamping and perhaps the cloth color or weave fashion. He removed the Spanish on the coppers and had an engraver restore the 1813 English inscriptions then printed for both the portfolio and the 1870 issue of the text with the engravings. Bentley lists the 1870 issue in Blake Books but I don't believe he lists the portfolio issue of the plates only. I have a vague recollection however that he did note it in one of his later checklists of publications in the Blake Quarterly.†Bentley Blake Books 435E. Bensley for Ackermann hardcover books
1808109096London: Printed by T. Bensley for R.H. Cromek 1808. Rare first edition subscriber's copy of Robert Blair`s famous poem which initiated a fashion for mortuary poems illustrated with 11 etchings by William Blake. Quarto bound in three quarters morocco marbled endpapers with the famous engraved frontispiece portrait of William Blake after the painting by Phillips engraved title page with 11 additional plates engraved by Louis Schiavonetti after Blake's drawings designed at the request of Cromek. With the poem dedicated to the Queen by Blake list of subscribers four-page prospectus for the Procession of Chaucer`s Pilgrims to Canterbury by Thomas Stothard at rear. In very good condition. Ownership inscription. Rare and desirable. In October 1805 Blake was commissioned by the engraver and would-be publisher Robert H. Cromek to prepare 40 drawings for Robert Blair's Grave from which Cromek planned to select twenty for this deluxe edition of the poem. While The Grave originally appeared in 1743 this 1808 edition was to become famous for its illustrations demonstrating "the rare imaginative power of William Blake" Magnusson 162. A dispute over a preliminary etching "in white-line" called "Death's Door" which Cromek rejected resulted in Blake's being prevented from engraving his own designs so the 12 drawings eventually selected were rendered by Louis Schiavonetti "with a mingled grace and grandeur which won for them a wider popularity. Never has the theme of death been handled in pictorial art with more elevation and beauty" DNB. Printed by T. Bensley for R.H. Cromek unknown books
