Eyre Methuen, London (in association with Trianon Press, Paris), new edition, 1972. Cloth, 4to, 30 cm,. iii-xx, 72 pp, [30] pp plates, ills (some colour). From the blurb: "Through a combination of circumstances this astonishing series of water-colours, executed some 175 years ago, has remained virtually unknown until very recently. They were in fact completely lost to view for over seventy years and were only shown to the public for the first time at the Tate Gallery in December 1971- They were widely acclaimed and at once recognized to be among Blake's most important works. The marriage of Blake's visual imagination to Gray's poetry is perhaps unexpected and it is surprising that the classic Gray was able to bring out the best in the romantic Blake, arousing a fertility of imagination remarkable even for him. Among the 116 superb water-colours are a number of designs of outstanding beauty and originality which are unsurpassed in Blake's later work. Blake did not aim at literal illustration but rather at an interpretation and expansion of Gray's themes, thus adding to many of the poems a new and exciting dimension. In the 'Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat' he has taken the opportunity to give us his views on women and sex and, in the 'Elegy Written in a Country Church-yard', on social injustice. ..This volume gives the reader an unique opportunity to study and to enjoy these hitherto unknown water-colours. There are sixteen colour plates accurately reproduced in 8-colour offset, and all Blake's 116 water-colours are included in monochrome. Included, too, is a Concordance of Blake's handwritten titles and an Introduction and page-by-page Commentary by Sir Geoffrey Keynes, the renowned authority on Blake. The book has been produced by the Trianon Press, who are the publishers of the now rare Blake facsimiles... Very Good in price-clipped dustwrapper.
