Extra-illustrated with 50 additional plates, this is the first edition of Alexander Gilchrist’s Life of William Blake, “Pictor Ignotus”.Per the Contents pages, the Songs of Innocence and Experience are “sixteen of the original plates”.A hand-written note at the front states that there are 50 extra plates; I have provided a breakdown of those plates below. Regarding these plates, I don’t see impression marks, so while they are well executed, I do believe that they are produced via photo-lithographs (or some similar technique) and not from the original blocks. I suspect there is a book that was published in the early 1900s that produced these 50 illustrations, but I have been unable to find which one that is.The spines are damaged, but once removed from the slipcase, the bindings are handsome fine-binding, stamp signed by Bayntun bindery in Bath, England.About William Blake -William Blake (1757 –1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. What he called his “prophetic works” were said by 20th-century critic Northrop Frye to form “what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language”. His visual artistry led 21st-century critic Jonathan Jones to proclaim him “far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced”. In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC’s poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. While he lived in London his entire life, except for three years spent in Felpham, he produced a diverse and symbolically rich collection of works, which embraced the imagination as “human existence itself”. – WikipediaAbout the Life of William Blake -Alexander Gilchrist (1828 – 1861), an English author, is known mainly as a biographer of William Etty and of William Blake. Gilchrist’s biography of Blake is still a standard reference work about the poet. Although he studied law, Gilchrist adopted literary and art criticism as his main pursuits. In 1856 he became a next-door neighbor of his friend Thomas Carlyle at Chelsea and his wife Jane Welsh Carlyle, both of them notable writers. Gilchrist had all but finished his Life of William Blake when he contracted scarlet fever from one of his children and died. His wife Anne helped to complete the Life (his magnum opus). Dante Gabriel Rossetti also contributed to the completion of the book.Bibliographic Details -Worldcat OCLC record number 1396704785. Notes that the preface is signed “Anne Gilchrist”.

While many of them have a tissue with a title printed on them, some of them do not; for the plates with no tissue, I made up a description and these are not the true names of the works.Plates that are not extra-illustrated: plates called out at Volume 1 in “Directions to Binder” – Frontis portrait, Job plates 8 and 14 at page 4, Plague at 54, Albion’s Angel at 112, From Europe at 126, Spider’s Web at 129, Jerusalem at 182, By Satan’s Watch-Fiends and The Crucifixion at 194, Canterbury at 230 (but used as frontis of V2 here), Job Plate V at 286Frontis4 – Job 8, Job 144 – Fire! 1 and 212 – God28 – Gates Paradise36 – Gates Paradise50 – God Creating54 – Plague58 – Bank of the Thames76 – Dante Degli Abati in the Lake80 – Job Restored90 – 2 woodcuts from Eclogue110 – 2 woodcuts from Eclogue112 – Albion’s Angel115 – 2 Eclogue120 – 2 Eclogue127 – From Europe128 – Title page Los128 – Spider Web128 – Children guiding serpent130 – color man water138 – color angel woman baby166 – color rainbow woman182 – From Jerusalem182 – Jerusalem page 39194 – From Jerusalem202 – Bath Canterbury York216 – Jesus on Lamb234 – Zacharias’ Angel260 – Creating Adam272 – 2 Eclogues275 – Paradise Regained286 – Job V292 – Christ’s Dream316 – Pouring a cup on a manVolume 2Foldout – Canterbury Pilgrims4 – Los Enitharmon and Orc – Los Bound with the Chain of Jealousy16 – Fire32 – Man Woman Flower50 – Holy Thursday52 – Emanation Jerusalem64 – Paola Francesca74 – Man above well98 – Jerusalem Chapter 3110 – Title Night the Third114 – Jurizen126 – Pity138 – Floating woman and baby144 – noses pointing158 – Foreboding man with bell160 – Heaven to Hell182 – Paradise Regained, Christ ministered by Angels185 – Chained woman in wave192 – Albion contemplating Jesus206 – Annihilate Jerusalem217 – Philippa224 – Albion232 – Oragon Woman240 – Jerusalem page 46254 – Albion turning from daughters260 – Limbs of AlbionBook of Job – page 1-21 Songs of Innocence (page 6 misnumbered 9), 1-16Condition – See pictures. Spines are in rough condition, which also made the joints tender. But the boards, text-blocks, etc. were very well protected by the slipcase and are nice. There’s a few spots, a dog-eared page (182), the fore-edges of the Canterbury plate are folded back, etc. but mostly the text block is very clean and the paper is quite bright, the edge gilt bright as well.
