Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Good. WONERFUL BOOK FOR THE ART LOVER AND LOVER OF HISTORY. THE GRAVE WAS WRITTEN BY ROBERT BLAIR IN 1808 AND REFLECTS ON LIFE AND DEATH. BLAKES ARTWORK IS TERRIFIC. LARGE FOLIO SIZE BOOK, LIGHT COVER WITH ARTWORK FRONT. FIRST TWO PAGES LOOSE BUT VERY GOOD SHAPE, ARTWORK AND POEM PRESENTED VERY NICELY. A…PRIZE POSSESSION. Rev Robert Blair (17 April 1699 - 4 February 1746) was a Scottish poet. His fame rests upon his poem The Grave, which in a later printing was illustrated by William Blake. "The Grave" is a blank verse poem by the Scottish poet Robert Blair. It is the work for which he is primarily renowned. According to Blair, in a letter he wrote to Philip Doddridge, the greater part of the poem was composed before he became a minister. Edinburgh editor and publisher John Johnstone stated that it was composed whilst Blair was still a student, although "probably corrected and amplified by his more matured judgement."The poem, 767 lines long, is an exemplar of what became known as the school of graveyard poetry. William Blake (28 November 1757 - 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. What he called his "prophetic works" were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".

FIRST EDITION. 1 vol., folio, 13-7/8" x 11-3/8", Frontispiece portrait, additional engraved title-page and 11 drawings by Blake, etched by Louis Schiavonetti, includes list of subscribers, a poem "To the Queen" by Blake, and advertisement referencing Henry Fuseli's favorable comment…s, complete, bound in early 1/2 tan calf, contemporary spine laid down, marbled pastedowns and endpapers, with a slip of paper (probably cut from an earlier binding of this copy) mounted on the verso of the front free endpaper and inscribed in ink "Mr. Cromek (the publisher) begs Mr. Bromley's acceptance of this Book. July 20. 1808". Inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spine fine, an unusually clean copy, free of the typical foxing and offsetting, overall a VERY GOOD copy. From the collection of Douglas Cleverdon (1903 - 1987) who was an English radio producer and bookseller - with his bookplate to the front pastedown. One of about 590 copies published by subscription. In October 1805, Blake was commissioned by the publisher Cromek to prepare 40 drawings for the poem. Disagreements between Blake and Comek about the artistic direction led to hiring Schiavonetti for the engraving. Cromek included a portrait of Blake as a frontispiece and promoted the book aggressively and the illustrations to The Grave became Blake's best known work through much of the nineteenth century. This exact copy appeared in Maggs Catalogue 1286 (London, March 2000) as item #39 Blair, The Grave (1808), and priced at $5,775.

With Provenance THE GRAVE, A POEM By Robert Blair Author Bio: Rev Robert Blair (17 April 1699 - 4 February 1746) was a Scottish poet. His fame rests upon his poem The Grave. The poem is now best known for the illustrations created by William Blake following a commission from Robert Cromek. Blake's designs were engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti, and published in 1808. Illustrated By: William Blake Illustrator Bio: William Blake (28 November 1757 - 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. On 4 August 1772, Blake was apprenticed to engraver James Basire of Great Queen Street, at the sum of £52.10, for a term of seven years. At the end of the term, aged 21, he became a professional engraver. Provenance: Robert Oscar Lenkiewicz (31 December 1941 - 5 August 2002) was one of South West England's most celebrated artists of modern times. Perennially unfashionable in high art circles, his work was nevertheless popular with the public. Lenkiewicz is regarded by some as a great painter who is 'finally being recognised as such after all these years of neglect by the art establishment, particularly by London, who would never have him.

Phillips, RA; Engraved title page (dated 1808) and 11 plates, all stating Ackermann as publisher, dated 1813 and engraved by Louis Schiavonetti, after Blake's…designs. The pages have a little bumping to the edges but well away form the engraved area. Plates a little dusty and toned but the impressions are good. The original portfolio is brown Morocco grained cloth with elaborate blind tooled designs to both boards. Gilt lettering to the front board. Only one small piece of one silk tie remaining. Yellow coated endpapers. 3 small clippings from bookseller catalogues, each listing copies of the Blair/Blake book, tipped in to the front pastedown endpaper. Some minor rubbing and bumping to the cloth but the gilt is still very bright and the cloth clean. Overall a very good example of this rare edition. ----- 'When Gilchrist's Life of William Blake (1863) made the artist's name familiar again, a deposit of prints left over from 1813 came to light, probably in Ackermann's storehouse. Somebody (possibly John Cameron Hotton) reissued the books. There are no new title pages, no dates or places indicated; but the bindings are in mid-Victorian style, and could not have been made in the first half-century.' [A Blake Dictionary: The Ideas and Symbols of William Blake By Samuel Foster Damon]. ---- '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 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.'--(Essick).

Folio, 95pp. Original black silk binding, with morocco labels, stamped in gilt, to top board and backstrip, black cloth-covered slipcase; illustrated throughout with color reproductions of watercolor drawings, as well as engravings. As new. § First edition, limited to 186 co…pies, out of print on publication. From the announcement: "These watercolor designs, which disappeared from the public eye from 1836-2001, came to light in a Glasgow bookshop, and were [later] offered as an entity to institutions and collectors at a price which, as it turned out, none could afford, or at least, was prepared to pay. Eventually, in the face of much protest, the portfolio and the 19 designs were offered for sale in 20 separate lots at Sotheby's, New York, in 2006. The drawings are now widely dispersed and it is most unlikely that they will ever again be seen together." The sale was roundly condemned at the time as an act of cultural crime. This book (and the facsimile portfolio in the de luxe issue) are now the only record we will ever have of the original series. Happily, the Blake Trust created a superb book, which is and will surely remain the single most valuable reference work on these remarkable Blake drawings.

Aggiungi al carrello(BLAKE, William) BLAIR, Robert. The Grave. [London: John Camden Hotten, circa 1870]. Folio (11 by 14 inches, modern three-quarter red morocco, raised bands, top edge gilt. $1650.Third edition of Blair's singular poetic achievement, with splendid engraved frontispiece portrait of William Blake and 12 engraved plates rendered by S…hiavonetti after Blake's original designs, including the engraved title page. 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 20. While The Grave originally appeared in 1743, the illustrations in this very scarce second edition and the rarely found 1808 first edition are especially famous for vividly demonstrating "the rare imaginative power of William Blake" (Magnusson, 162). "In fact Blair had a perceptible influence on Blake the poet as well as on Blake the painter" (Kunitz & Haycraft, 46). 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 popularityÉ Never has the theme of death been handled in pictorial art with more elevation and beauty" (DNB). Also featured is Blake's dedicatory poem "To the Queen," a prefatory comment on the designs by Henry Fuseli, and a concluding section, "Of the Designs." Preceded by the rare 1808 edition of less than 600 copies and the large folio second edition of 1813. This third edition was produced by John Camden Hotten sometime around 1870, after Gilchrist's 1863 Life of William Blake reawakened an interest in the poet/artist. With minor alterations, Gilchrist was able to use the original plates from the 1813 edition, with the reset text being a very close imitation of the original; the letterpress title page is still for the 1813 Ackermann edition, for instance, with no mention of Hotten or 1870.

Disagreements between Blake and Comek about the artistic direction led to hiring Schiavonetti for the engraving. Bentley, Blake Books, 435B. Bindman, Complete Graphic Works of Blake, 465-476.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Grave: A Poem by Robert Blair. Illustrated by Twelve Etchings Executed by l.Schiavonetti from the original inventions of William Blake. The Grave is a blank verse poem by the Scottish poet Robert Blair. It is the work for which he is primarily renowned. According to Blair, in a letter h…e wrote to Dr. Dodderidge, the greater part of the poem was composed before he became a minister, Edinburgh editor and publisher John Johnstone stating that it was composed whilst he was still a student, although "probably corrected and amplified by his more matured judgement". The poem, 767 lines long, is an exemplar of what became known as the school of graveyard poetry. Part of the poem's continued prominence in scholarship involves a later printing of poems by Robert Hartley Cromek which included illustrations completed by the Romantic poet and illustrator William Blake. He completed forty illustrations for the poem, twenty of which were printed in Cromek's edition. Blake's original watercolours for the prints were believed lost, until they were rediscovered in 2003.
