About This Item
Clairvaux, Jura, France: Published by The Trianon Press for The William Blake Trust, London, 1974. With Plates from the Lord Cunliffe Copy
And Four Facsimile Proofs of Four Prints
Not Found in the Earlier Trianon Edition.
[TRIANON PRESS, The]. BLAKE, William. Jerusalem. The Emanation of the Giant Albion. London: The Trianon Press for The William Blake Trust, 1974.
One of 500 numbered copies (this copy being No. 326), out of a total edition of 558 copies. Folio (14 7/16 x 10 1/4 in; 365 x 260 mm). (72) pp. Twenty-five color plates, eight proofs, and commentary at the end.
Original quarter brown morocco over hand-marbled paper boards. Fine. In the original marbled board slipcase.
The Trianon Press' 1950 facsimile edition of Blake's Jerusalem used the Stirling copy (1820), the only one known to have been completed in color by Blake. For the edition under notice, Trianon used the copy if Lord Cunliffe, an earlier version (1818) which contained twenty-five colored plates noted for the delicacy of their water-color washes and printed in a light red-brown ink. There were other variations of significance in these plates sufficient for Trianon to issue this later edition which is supplemented by facsimiles of proofs of four prints from Jerusalem from approximately the same date and executed in a similar style, from the Preston collection.
The plates were reproduced in Paris in the workshops of Trianon Press (France) by the collotype and hand-stencil process. The editorial matter was printed by the Imprimerie Darantiere, Dijon, and binding was by Reliural, Paris, and the hand-made slip-case by Adine, Paris.
With a commentary and bibliographical history by Geoffrey Keynes.
