Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: 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 P…RIZE 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". ANTIQUE BOOKS DEN, WHERE HISTORY LIVES. WILLIAM BLAKE (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 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 comments…, 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.

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).

Cromek to prepare forty drawings illustrating the popular "graveyard" school poem first published in 1743. In Cromek's first prospectus of November 1805, Blake is named as both the designer and engraver of fifteen designs.In a second prospectus, also from November 1805, Cromek announced that Luigi Schiavonetti would engrave twelve designs for the new edition. Blake had lost the lucrative commission to engrave his own designs; and his relationship with Cromek descended into anger and argument. In spite of their disagreement, Cromek included a portrait of Blake as a frontispiece to the volume, published in 1808. Cromek promoted the book aggressively and the illustrations to The Grave became Blake's best known work through much of the nineteenth century" (William Blake Archive). Near Fine.

Paperback. Condition: 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 he… 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. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Schiavonetti, L.; Blake, William (illustrator).
