Description

Small slim 4to. London: Pickering & Co., 1886. Small slim 4to, printed blue upper wrapper serving as the title-page, [12] leaves with illustrations printed lithographically in reddish-brown highlighted in black, of which 3 are colored. Early full brown morocco binding by Riviere, dark green glazed endpapers, backstrip lettered in gilt, lower cover rehinged. § Large-paper copy, privately printed for Pickering in an edition of 50 copies. One of the rarest Blake facsimiles, and, only in the large-paper edition, very well executed (the rest were not colored and were printed in a dark brown without highlights). Not in Bentley but Essick notes: “According to Blake Books Supplement page 140, the plates reproduced are the same as those in the Muir facsimile of 1886, apparently from copies A, L, and perhaps H. However, Joseph Viscomi, Blake and the Idea of the Book, pp. 205, 212-13, demonstrates that most of the plates (a1, a2, a4, a8, a9, b3, b4, b12) in this Pickering facsimile were based on copy I, one of the early “bogus” or facsimile copies now in the Morgan Library. The remaining plates (a2, a5, a6, a7) were probably based on copy D (Harvard) or copy G (Morgan), according to Viscomi.”
