Edition Notes
Added t.p., engraved and illustrated: The grave : a poem by Blair with illustrations from designs by Wm. Blake. 1847.
A reprint of the 1858 edition which was a reissue of the 1847 edition, it included the Advertisement to the London edition by R.H. Cromek (p. [vii]-viii); remarks by Henry Fuseli (p. ix-x); an essay entitled: Of the designs by B.H. Malkin (p. [35]-38); a Biographical sketch of Robert Blair ([xi]-xiii); and added a biography of William Blake compiled chiefly from Cunningham (1830) (p. [v]-vi), and Phillips's portrait of Blake from the 1808 ed.; but omitted Blake's dedicatory poem, "To the Queen".
In the 1858 edition the plates were reduced to about a quarter of their original size and were re-engraved with the inscription "Wm Blake del., A.L. Dick sc." This 1983 reprint is a poor reproduction of the plates with faint inscriptions.
The order and position of the plates in the 1858 edition are slightly altered. As in the 1847 edition Plate 3, "The meeting of a Family in Heaven", is omitted, and the genitals of the naked gentlemen in plates 1 & 8 are decorously covered with filmy drapery.
Imprint of original: New York : Stanford & Delisser, 1858.
Gift to Victoria University Library. Bentley, G.E., Jr. 2005/10/01.
