A Checklist of Blake Slides

by Everett Frost

INTRODUCTION

In recent years the sixth chamber of the Printing House in Hell has acquired a new cabinet in which vision may take the form of slides to be arranged in carousels. This Checklist contains the results of a year’s search to discover what of Blake’s work was available in 35mm slide form. Even a casual perusal of the listings makes it evident that institutions and slide companies vary widely in policy, price, and quality of reproduction—some, for example, having a list of Blake slides routinely available, others making slides available on special order only. I have attempted to look at slides from nearly all of the major sources of supply and, where appropriate, to offer evaluations of them. Evaluations divide into matters of fact (e.g., margins cropped) and of opinion; and the latter are my own. The object is to assist the potential buyer in making the most desirable choice wherever options present themselves. Color is an unpredictable variable. In two slides of the same painting ordered from the same institution at the same time, the color of one may be “true” and that of the other “off”. No evaluation of color quality has been attempted beyond noting here that the slides made to special order by the major Blake collections generally (but not always) are superior in quality to those routinely listed in catalogues and by slide supply houses. An important exception are the slides from the EP Group of Companies, which are consistently of good quality.

Checklist entries have been compiled from lists obtained from the several institutions and companies, and wherever possible, identifying information has been checked against the appropriate scholarly catalogues. But it has been impossible to check firsthand the reliability of each entry and identification. A further difficulty has been that slides—materially more ephemeral than books—tend to go in and out of print almost momentarily. Prices go up by the month. The information contained herein is as accurate as it can be to February 1974. It is to be expected, therefore, that inaccuracies and lacunae will occur; and I would be grateful if these were pointed out to me—in the hope that an increasing number of slides of Blake’s work will become available, requiring a greatly expanded checklist before too many years.

By cataloguing the inexpensive, high quality, color images of a wider range of Blake’s work than is likely to be easily available in book or facsimile form in the forseeable future, I hope not only to put more of Blake’s work within reach of those not near the major collections, but also to assist in relieving the strain placed on the originals by increasing use (see John E. Grant’s discussion of this problem in Blake Newsletter 21).

At least a small slide collection is within the practical economic reach not only of individuals begin page 5 | ↑ back to top but also of most secondary schools, colleges, and universities, many of which maintain audiovisual departments budgeted for this purpose. The pedagogic value of having the visual dimension of Blake’s work available in class along with the letterpress text, and in a format for lecture and discussion hardly needs to be emphasized to Newsletter subscribers.

But the experience of a Blake painting or page “blown up” vertically on a screen is significantly different in impact from the page lying horizontally on a table. This is particularly true in the case of illuminated books, which were meant to be examined minutely and up close. It is an unsettling experience to turn round mid-lecture in a darkened room to be confronted by a six-foot, full-color Urizen. But what is gained in grandeur is lost in intimacy. This suggests that the viewer of an enlarged slide needs to have the dimensions of the original work emphasized as an important element in its composition lost in the transfer of media. For this reason and, mindful of the fact that many will use this Checklist as an index to their own collections, I have included the dimensions, in inches of each work listed.

Unless otherwise noted all items listed are 35mm color slides individually mounted in 2″ × 2″ cardboard frames. All of the listings are either those of a commercial slide library, or public museum or gallery; to my knowledge no private collection of Blake’s work makes slides available. Normally the slides are protected by copyright and cannot be reproduced without written permission from the museum or company providing it. Many museums have a scale of fees for reproduction of their holdings, and those needing to reproduce items listed here are advised to correspond directly with the appropriate collection.

Section I of this Checklist lists all slides of Blake’s work that I have been able to locate, and I have attempted to identify them as fully as I can. A few slides are identified so vaguely as to make the identification nearly useless, but I have included these in interest of completeness and in hopes that someone may eventually provide more thorough information.

In each part of Section I, only slides routinely available (as advertised in a catalogue list, for example) appear. The slides are listed alphabetically by title or book or series. In Section II, these slides are cross-listed under an alphabetical listing of the institutions and companies selling the slides. Sections II and III also contain information for ordering the slides, price, etc.; and contain instructions for special-ordering slides that are not routinely listed wherever it is possible to do so. Section IV lists institutions housing Blake materials not able to provide slides at this time.

I am grateful to Professors John E. Grant and Robert N. Essick for suggesting possible sources of Blake slides and I am indebted to Essick’s Finding List of Reproductions of Blake’s Art (Blake Newsletter 17-18). I also owe thanks to the many librarians, curators, photographers, and slide companies who responded to my inquiries; and to the handlist of slides in the British Museum kindly provided me by their department of photography. I am particularly grateful to Faith Wilding, Linnea Aycock, and Elsie Taylor for assistance in preparing and proofreading the manuscript.

Part A Illuminated Books

Listed alphabetically according to the first substantive word in the title. Copy and plate identifications according to Geoffrey Keynes and Edwin Wolf, 2nd; William Blake’s Illuminated Books: A Census, New York: Grolier Club, 1953. Of the two major sources of slides of illuminated books, the British Museum will provide slides of individual pages, but the EP Group of Companies provides filmstrips of whole illuminated books only.

Each illuminated book for which slides are available is listed by title, followed in parentheses by the approximate size of its plates in inches. Then copies for which EP offers whole filmstrips. Beneath which are listed all plates individually available with Census plate numbers and a brief description or the opening words on the plate; followed by copy identification, institution offering the slide, and the catalogue number given the slide by that institution. Titles given individual plates by slide companies have been added in quotation marks to facilitate ordering. Where the individually listed slides comprise an entire illuminated book, the copy letter is preceeded by an asterisk (*). A book is marked as complete when there are slides available of all plates of that copy — even if that copy lacks pages found in other copies of the same work. A plus sign (+) following the offering institution indicates the institution owns the original work.

Thus, for example, Census copies B and AA of The Songs of Innocence and of Experience are available as whole filmstrips from EP. In addition to being available on the two filmstrips, “The Lamb” is available in three different versions from the British Museum, where they are housed: Copy A (as B.M. slide number K 11300), Copy B (B.M. slide number K 11055), and Copy T (B.M. slide number K 1023). An unidentified copy of “The Lamb” from the British Museum (probably copy B) is available from Prothmann Associates, and has their slide number 141.1. Finally, one of the copies in the Bodleian Library is available and is ordered from the Bodleian (which owns it) by its archive number, G.e.42, followed by its slide number 247.3.B.

For information concerning cost, minimum orders, address see Section II of this Checklist.

Since slides of the individual plates of one of them are not yet available, The Large Book of Designs and The Small Book of Designs are treated as whole books.

Part C Illustrations, Engravings, Paintings, Water Colors, and Drawings Not in Series

Alphabetized by first substantive word in the title. Numbers preceeding titles conform to usage in Robert N. Essick, A Finding List of Reproductions of Blake’s Art (Blake Newsletter 17-18). Followed by medium and size in inches; location of original if not indicated by plus sign (+) in slides. Numbers in parentheses identify plate numbers of Biblical subjects according to Geoffrey Keynes, William Blake’s Illustrations to the Bible: Blake Trust, London, 1957. Followed by institutions offering slides. Plus (+) indicates institution owning original. Where more than one copy of a work exists, I have tried to be certain of which copy has been photographed, though available information does not always make this possible.

II Alphabetical List of Collections and Slide Companies Listing Slides of Blake’s Work

begin page 22 | ↑ back to top

Listed alphabetically according to the abbreviation used in Checklist and appearing in left margin. Mailing address is followed by item price of 35mm color slide in either British Pounds Sterling or U.S.A. dollars. The instability of exchange rates made it advisable to leave prices in the currency of country of origin (as of 9/1/74 £1.00p = $2.60 U.S.A.). Quoted prices do NOT include sales tax (10% in England, 5% in some states in United States), nor postage and handling (generally about 5% for surface mail handling in both England and United States).

Quoted price per slide is followed by title and order number of slides. Followed by unit price for special ordering a slide not listed, where this is possible. Followed by cost of black and white prints (b&w in this Checklist always refers to prints, not slides unless otherwise noted). Followed by a list of minor Blakeana (posters, post cards, greeting cards) and prices, wherever these are available. These last go in and out of print regularly. Under this last category, I have included everything I happened to have come across, with a minimal attempt at obtaining a listing as extensive and as accurate as possible.

Most collections sell or rent ektachromes from which color reproductions for publication are made. In all cases permission to reproduce an original in any form must be obtained from the institution owning the work; and in most cases there is a permissions fee. This information seemed too minutely particularized to warrant inclusion here, and those requiring it should write to the curators and librarians of the several collections directly.
