Poetical Sketches. First Pickering Edition

Blake, WilliamBiblio.com

Poetical Sketches. Now first reprinted from the original edition of 1783 edited and prefaced by Richard Herne Shepherd

18681087781868. London: Pickering 1868. Small 8vo xiv 96 pp. A good copy in original cloth with a small amount of wear at spine ends and the paper label on spine darkened and with two small chips. Rear end paper slightly foxed and one or two spots on occasional pages but internally the book is a clean copy with just a touch of dusting to page edges. Small bookplate of John Johnson on front pastedown. § First printing after the exceedingly rare edition of 1783 known in about 24 copies. Bentley BB 129. "The original 1783 copies were seventy-two pages in length printed in octavo by John Flaxman's aunt who owned a small print shop in the Strand and paid for by Anthony Stephen Mathew and his wife Harriet dilettantes to whom Blake had been introduced by Flaxman in early 1783. Each individual copy was hand-stitched with a grey back and a blue cover reading "POETICAL SKETCHES by W.B." It was printed without a table of contents and many pages were without half titles. Of the extant copies eleven contain corrections in Blake's handwriting. Poetical Sketches is one of only two works by Blake to be printed conventionally with typesetting; the only other extant work is The French Revolution in 1791 which was to be published by Joseph Johnson. However it never got beyond the proof copy and was thus not actually published. Even given the modest standards by which the book was published it was something of a failure. Alexander Gilchrist noted that the publication contained several obvious misreadings and numerous errors in punctuation suggesting that it was printed with little care and was not proofread by Blake thus the numerous handwritten corrections in printed copies. Gilchrist also notes that it was never mentioned in the Monthly Review even in the magazine's index of "Books noticed" which listed every book published in London each month signifying that the publication of the book had gone virtually unnoticed. Nevertheless Blake himself was proud enough of the volume that he was still giving copies to friends as late as 1808 and when he died several unstitched copies were found amongst his belongings."

[Phonography – Ephemera – Sheet Music] Blake, Charles D; [Roze, Marie]Biblio.com

Phonograph. March Brillante

1878List3694Boston Massachusetts: White Smith and Company 1878. Folio 13 Â½ x 10 Â½ inches. 6 pp. Wraps fully split else near fine with some very light foxing and soiling to wrap overall very attractive. Very good. An early phonograph-related sheet associated with the French soprano Marie Roze nÃ©e Hippolyte Ponsin 1846â€“1926 whose participation in early demonstrations of Thomas Edisonâ€™s tinfoil phonograph was widely publicized in 1878. Contemporary reports identify Roze as the â€œcelebrated prima donnaâ€ depicted singing into the phonograph in an engraving produced for Frank Leslieâ€™s Illustrated Newspaper New York April 20 1878 following a demonstration of the machine at Steinway Hall earlier that year. The same engraving was subsequently reused across multiple promotional formats including tickets to phonograph exhibitions advertising circulars and early phonograph-themed sheet music such as Phonograph. March Brillante. Related promotional material includes a poster advertising exhibitions of Edisonâ€™s new tinfoil phonograph in Toronto on May 28 1878 which employs the identical image of the prima donna singing into the apparatus beneath the heading â€œEdisonâ€™s Phonograph!â€ The poster announces daily demonstrations featuring singing speech and explanatory lectures illustrating the standardized visual language used to market the invention during its first year of public exhibition.1 Roze an internationally known operatic soprano who later became Mrs. Henry Mapleson was connected with early phonograph demonstrations intended to showcase the recording and playback of trained vocal performance. The engraving linking her image to the machine circulated widely in print culture during 1878 appearing in illustrated journalism and promotional ephemera tied to touring exhibitions. Overall a very nice copy of what was an iconic image at the time. Blake was a highly prolific composer of over 5000 songs the most famous of which is Rock-a-Bye Baby. OCLC locates two copies with different entries at Baylor and BYU. 1 Arthur Zimmerman â€œThe Early Phonographic Craze in Ontario 1878â€“92â€ Antique Phonograph News https://www.capsnews.org/apn2022-3.htm accessed February 24 2026.
