Description
Blake (William) Little Tom the Sailor [Verses by William Hayley], facsimile broadside with 2 illustrations by William Blake, printed in black ink on laid paper, c.565 x 235mm., a few small spots and light soiling, some creases from folding and across lower right corner of lower illustration, short tear and traces of mounting tape to verso of left edge, Printed for & Sold by the Widow Spicer of Folkestone for the Benefit of her Orphans, October 5, 1800 [but William Muir, c.1886].*** One of Blake's rarest works. Originally etched in relief and white line by Blake on pewter, this facsimile was produced by William Muir and issued either as part of The Century Guild Hobby Horse vol.1 no.4 or separately, as here. Those in the Hobby Horse seem to be a little smaller and were generally cut into two pieces to fit the magazine, often with slight loss of text. Keynes notes that for some years the Muir facsimile was exhibited as the original at the Pierpont Morgan Library.
