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.
