Stedman's account of the slave rebellion in Dutch Guiana 1772-1777 with 40 hand-colored plates 16 by William Blake. A best-seller in its day and translated many times Stedman's narrative was an important resource for the abolitionist movement across Europe even though Stedman himself was not straightforwardly anti-slavery. Stedman based the text on personal diaries he kept on his travels now held by the University of Minnesota albeit with his numerous accounts of sexual liaisons with free and enslaved women reduced and romaticised. Essick writes that "Stedman's narrative of the brutalities of slavery very probably influenced Blake's own anti-slavery position"; Blake's graphic illustrations of abused slaves infused with human dignity undoubtedly influenced the reading public and advanced the abolitionist's cause.

Two quarto 8-1/2" x 10-1/2" volumes bound in early calf-backed marbled boards with calf corners contrasting gilt-lettered morocco spine labels marbled endpapers top edges gilt rebacked. A graphic account of the slave rebellion in Dutch Guiana 1772- 1777 illustrated with 81 engravings including 3 folding maps after drawings by the author by William Blake 13 with an additional 3 attributed to him Bartolozzi Benedetti Barlow and others. Sabin 91075 called this "one of the richest contemporary accounts of a plantation society in the Americas." According to the DNB Stedman's narrative is "one of the most vivid indictments of slavery that have been penned." Stedman also depicts the social and natural history of the area in detail and many of the engravings illuminate his writings on these subjects. Blake's work among the finest that he did for hire are primarily powerful portraits of slaves. <br/><br/> J. Johnson hardcover

Excellent original copies in fantastic overall condition.<br /> <br /> § 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.
