introduction

This is a revised and considerably expanded version of “A Finding List of Reproductions of Blake’s Art” which appeared in three successive issues of the Blake Newsletter in 1969 and 1970. This list is not intended as a catalogue of Blake’s art, but rather as an aid to students and scholars in locating reproductions of Blake’s work in books and journals usually found in libraries with good Blake collections. Its purpose is a limited one: to locate reproductions, and not to describe or interpret the material reproduced. The Finding List is far from complete, but I have attempted to list at least one reproduction for every item that has ever been reproduced in a book or periodical up to August 1971.[e]

FORMAT OF THE FINDING LIST

The great variety of materials covered herein has necessitated a rather complex format. The Finding List is divided into five main parts, with the entries in each part arranged alphabetically. The five parts are:

  1. ENGRAVED AND ILLUMINATED BOOKS

  2. MANUSCRIPTS, ILLUSTRATIONS TO MANUSCRIPTS, LETTERS, AND PRINTED WORKS

  3. ILLUSTRATIONS IN SERIES

  4. PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, AND ENGRAVINGS NOT IN SERIES

  5. PORTRAITS OF BLAKE AND MINOR BLAKEANA

Further information on the contents and format of each part is given in headnotes to each part. An index of persons and place names in works listed in parts III and IV is given at the end of the Finding List.

ENTRY FORM FOR BLAKE’S WORKS

Titles of Blake’s writings follow Keynes, ed., The Complete Writings of William Blake, 1966. Titles of books not by Blake containing his illustrations follow Bentley and Nurmi, A Blake Bibliography, 1964. Unfortunately there is as yet no standard catalogue of the titles for Blake’s separate paintings, drawings, and engravings, and thus I have used what seem to be the most generally accepted titles for each work, with cross-references from the alternate titles.

When it is necessary to give the medium, provenance, date, or other information on a work to properly identify it, the information is given in that order following the title. Preliminary sketches, proof impressions, and other closely-related materials are listed following the finished engraving or painting with which they are associated.

ENTRY FORM FOR REPRODUCTIONS

Reproductions are listed by the book or periodical in which they appear (see book and periodical entry forms below) and are located by plate number or letter (“pl.”), by figure number or letter (“fig.”), or by the page on which the reproduction appears or to which it is most closely contiguous (preceded by no abbreviation). In a few cases, both page and plate or figure number are given when necessary for proper identification. When a reproduction includes several works together without individual identifying plate or figure numbers, the location of the cited work is given following the page, plate, or figure number: thus, “237 top,” “fig. 4 bottom,” etc. Additional information on the work reproduced, such as the state of an engraving when this can be determined or a note on the information in the caption to a reproduction, is given in parentheses at the end of an entry. All reproductions are monochrome unless otherwise noted in parentheses (“color”) following the page, plate, or figure number.

begin page 4 | back to top

ENTRY FORM FOR BOOKS CONTAINING REPRODUCTIONS

Books are identified as follows:

Last name of author or editor (followed by “ed.”), short title, volume number when required, and page, plate, or figure number.

Capitalization of titles is conventionalized. Inessential words in titles have been omitted without ellipses. When “William Blake” appears in a title, this has been shortened to “Blake.” For many, but by no means all, of these books a full title may be found in Bentley and Nurmi, A Blake Bibliography or the supplement appearing as Part II of the Blake Newsletter, II (April, 1969). An alphabetical list of the radically-abbreviated titles used in the Finding List, giving full author’s name, title, and date of publication, follows this introduction.

When it is necessary to identify the publication date of a book, or the museum with which a collection or exhibition catalogue is associated, the information is given in parentheses following the title. When two editions of a book have the same reproductions in different locations, the publication dates for each cited edition are given in parentheses following the page, plate, or figure numbers.

A few important gallery, bookseller, and auction catalogues are included in the Finding List, although I have not made an extensive survey of these kinds of publications. They are identified either by the gallery, bookseller, or auction house and date of sale (in parentheses), or by the name of the collection sold followed by auction house and year (in parentheses).

Notebook, followed by a page number, refers to The Notebook of William Blake (Rossetti Manuscript) edited by Keynes and published in facsimile by the Nonesuch Press in 1935 and reprinted by Cooper Square Publishers in 1970. Pages from this notebook reproduced elsewhere are listed under “William Blake’s Notebook,” Part II of this list.

ENTRY FORM FOR PERIODICALS CONTAINING REPRODUCTIONS

Periodicals are identified as follows:

Name of periodical, volume number, year (in parentheses), and page, plate, or figure number.

For periodicals without clearly-stated volume number, or with separate pagination or plate numbering for each issue, the month, month and day, or season—whichever is appropriate—is given just before the year. In the few cases where a reproduction appears as a cover illustration or frontispiece to an issue, the issue is identified by its specific date or by the issue number given after the volume number. Names of periodicals are abbreviated according to the list in the 1969 MLA International Bibliography, vol. I. Names of periodicals not included in the MLA list are given in full.

I wish to thank Morton Paley, David Wyatt, Sir Geoffrey Keynes, Roger Easson, Kay Easson, G. E. Bentley, Jr., E. J. Rose—and most especially Morris Eaves, Georgia Eaves, and Jenijoy LaBelle—for help and encouragement during the preparation of this Finding List.

I engraved and illuminated books

AFRICA
	I will sing you a song of Los, the Eternal Prophet:
	He sung it to four harps at the tables of Eternity,
	In heart-formed Africa.
	Urizen faded! Ariston shudderd!
	And thus the Song began
	Adam stood in the garden of Eden;
	And Noah on the mountains of Ararat;
	They saw Urizen give his Laws to the Nations
	By the hands of the children of Los.
	African
	Adam shudderd! Noah faded! black grew the sunny
	When Rintrah gave Abstract Philosophy to Brama in the East.
	(Night spoke to the Cloud!
	Lo these Human form’d spirits in smiling hipocrisy, War
	Against one another; so let them War on; slaves to the
	eternal Elements)
	Noah shrunk beneath the waters:
	Abram fled in fires from Chaldea;
	Moses beheld upon Mount Sinai forms of dark delusion;
	To Trismegistus, Palamabron gave an abstract Law;
	To Pythagoras Socrates & Plato,
	Times rolled on o’er all the sons of Har, time after time
	Orc on Mount Atlas howld. chain’d down with the Chain of Jealousy
	Then Oothoon hoverd over Judah & Jerusalem
	And Jesus heard her voice (a man of sorrows) he recievd
	A Gospel from wretched Theotormon,
	The human race began to wither. for the healthy built
	Secluded places, fearing the joys of Love
	And the disease’d only propagated;
	So Antamon call’d up Leutha from her valleys of delight:
	And to Mahomet a loose Bible gave.
	But in the North, to Odin, Sotha gave a Code of War.
	Because of Diralada thinking to reclaim his joy.
1 The Song of Los, plate 3 of copy E.   Relief etching, color-printed.

Except for Songs of Innocence and Songs of Innocence and of Experience (listed alphabetically by title following prefatory plates), all plates are numbered and, whenever possible, copies identified (in parentheses at end of the entry) according to Keynes and Wolf, William Blake’s Illuminated Books: A Census. The Keynes and Wolf plate-numbering frequently differs from the plate numbers given in the captions to illustrations, since authors often use the numbering in the copy reproduced rather than the Keynes and Wolf standard numbering.

The plates from A Small Book of Designs and A Large Book of Designs described in Keynes and Wolf are here listed as “separate plates” following the entry for the illuminated-book plates upon which their designs are based, but copy identification for these separate plates refers to the appropriate copy of A . . . Book of Designs. Plates in the design-books not taken from the illuminated books are listed by title in Part IV of this list.

The engraved books For Children: The Gates of Paradise and For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise, not included by Keynes and Wolf among the illuminated books, are listed according to Blake’s own numbering of the plates.

IV paintings, drawings, and engravings not in series

All reproductions of Blake’s individual paintings, drawings, and engravings are included here in one continuous list alphabetized by the first operative word in the title (“the,” “a,” “an” excluded). In cases where the complete title is a person’s name, the work is alphabetized by the last name. Miscellaneous and untitled sketches of the human form are all grouped under “Figure Studies.”

The numbers preceding the titles of finished works are given here only for indexing purposes. This index of persons and place names appearing in works listed in Parts III and IV is included at the end of the Finding List. As in the other parts of this list, preliminary sketches and other associated items are listed following the finished work.

The numbers in parentheses following titles and information on medium and provenance refer to the plate numbers in Keynes, Blake’s Illustrations to the Bible (Blake Trust, 1957).

Cross-references from one work to another within this part of the Finding List are made by title only. Cross-references from this part of the list to Part III are made by item (Roman numeral and letter when necessary) and either plate or design number of title (when the work is listed in Part III but is not part of a series) under which the work is entered in Part III. Cross-references to Parts I and II are made by title, plate number when necessary, and part.

All Job and Milton designs not part of any series are listed following their series entries as items XXIV-B and XXVIII-H respectively in Part III of this list.

index to parts III and IV

References to Part III are made by item number (Roman numeral), title letter if necessary, and either plate or design number or title of the individual design referred to. When only the item number is given, the reference is to all the plates or designs listed under that item. References to Part IV, given following the references to Part III and a semi-colon, are made by entry number only.

The index covers major persons appearing in the designs even if they are not specifically named in the title. Saints, Kings, and Queens are listed by those titles. Qualities and abstractions listed here (Hope, Fear, Truth, etc.) refer to emblematic personifications appearing as major figures in the designs.

The Night Thoughts designs have not been indexed, except for a few designs with easily identified figures, not only because of their great number but also because of the difficulty in positively identifying figures, as is the case with the materials covered in Parts I and II of the Finding List.

Note: Some references in the index are to pictures reproduced as members of complete series only. Thus in the Finding List the reproduction will not be listed separately[e] under its own title, even though it will be listed separately in the index.
