Description
Heading:
Author: Blake, William
Title: Illustrations for the Book of Job
Place Published: New York
Publisher:Pierpont Morgan Library
Date Published: 1935
Description: Introductory text by Laurence Binyon and Geoffrey Keynes. Six fascicles comprising text and color facsimile plates. (Large 4to) 38x29.5 cm (15x11¾"), original wrappers, housed in blue cloth-covered box with printed spine label.Magnificent production, showing for the first time the three colored sets and the drawings for the smaller set, as well as reproducing in fine facsimile the proof issue of the first printing. Issued in a small edition and hard to find in good condition. Bentley, Blake Books, 374: "The 134 plates of this excellent edition include Blake's pencil drawings and water-colours and proofs of his engravings. For the genesis of Job it is of crucial importance." Despite the Trianon Press edition of 1987, this edition is still a necessity as it reproduces both the Butts and Linnell sets of Job watercolors in color which are only found in black and white, much reduced in size, in the Trianon edition. Previous owner's chops on first page of first two fascicles, return address label on inside cover of box.
