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".

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).…

(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 Shiavonetti 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.

Paperback. Condición: 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.
