No.243 of 808 copies. 4to, 6 colour facsimile plates reproduced in Paris at the Trianon Press using the collotype and hand-stencil process, one black and white illustration plus 5 pp. of commentary by Geoffrey Keynes. 4to., original quarter dark blue morocco, marbled paper covered boards, in the original marbled paper covered sl…ipcase. A very good, bright copy. Booklabel of Elaine Klemen. A facsimile of the only known copy of The Book of Ahania which was owned by Lessing Rosenwald. The original frontispiece was supplied for this facsimile by its owner Geoffrey Keynes. The Book of Ahania continues the story of the Book of Urizen. As Keynes writes: "Ahania, the feminine Emanation of Urizen, signifies Pleasure in Blake's system.the poem begins with.a new character Fuzon who.signifies Passion.Fuzon attacks Urizen.with a fiery globe.Urizen was sorely wounded in the loins [and].in his agony at losing his source of pleasure, he seized on Ahania, calling her Sin.Urizen seeks vengeance on Fuzon, creating in the process the Serpent of Materialism".

The companion volume to the Book of Ahania, printed by Blake in Lambeth in 1795. A facsimile of the only known copy of The Book of Los in the British Museum. In his commentary, Geoffrey Keynes writes: "the philosophic message of this small book is hidden in apocalyptic verbiage calculated to puzzle Blake's small audience. Blake seems to have sensed this obscurity as soon as it was completed and, as far as is known, he never made another copy.or referred to it." Bookplate of Alexander Stone on front pastedown.

One of 292 copies signed by the artist, this being…number 100. Large folio (15 1/2 x 12 inches; 395 x 305 mm). [xxiv], 135 pp. Illustrations and text by Ben Shahn. Pictorial borders and some illustrations in color. Signed by Shahn on the double-page lithograph. Printed on pure rag Arches Vergé paper especially manufactured to match the paper used by the artist. Text in both Hebrew and English. Unsewn as issued in original glassine covered stiff wrappers. Wrappers lettered in gilt. The lightest amount of foxing to the first few leaves. Still a fine, beautiful copy. Housed in the publisher's original clasped, silk-lined parchment box. Publisher's box with the usual minor natural toning, otherwise fine. From Shahn's introduction: "The making of this book has proceeded much more in the manner of a painting perhaps, than of a proper book. It reflects my memoirs of the Passover in my father's house. It reflects my early impressions and feelings; the images that were always invoked in my fancy by the majestic and meaningful ritual." "The most elaborate of Shahn's deluxe books were his Ecclesiastes, published in two editions in 1965 and 1966 and his Haggadah, published in 1966. The later included twelve Haggadah illustrations he had executed in 1931, which had never been published, plus ten new drawings and a full color title page and frontispiece. Shahn dedicated his 1966 Haggadah- the service of narrative and prayer that accompanies the ritual meal inaugurating he Jewish Passover feast-to his father Joshus Hessel Shahn." (Ben Shahn, Pohl, pg 30). HBS 69553. $3,500. SHAHN, Ben; TRIANON PRESS (illustrator). Signed.

In this edition, the plates were reproduced by the Trianon Press (France) using the collotype process, with some water-color washes added by hand.

Contact seller4-star sellerLondon: Trianon Press, 1972. 3 volumes, folio, with 116 color facsimile leaves reproduced by collotype and hand-stencil color, the text of the poems reproduced from copper-plate with 3 additional printings to reproduce Blake s pencillings and the tone of the paper. Marbled boards, morocco backstrips, slipcases, a fine set as iss…ued. ß Edition limited to 518 copies in all (including 100 copies for Paul Mellon personally) of which 12 copies were a super de luxe issue in three volumes with extra material, 36 copies were a de luxe issue also with extra material but in sheets unbound,18 copies were hors commerce (contents unrecorded), and 352 copies either bound in 3 volumes in slipcases, or as a single set of the loose sheets in a box. This is copy #125. The 116 water-color illustrations to Thomas Gray's poems are among Blake's major achievements as an illustrator. They were commissioned in 1797 by Blake's friend, the sculptor John Flaxman, as a gift for his wife Ann, to whom Blake addressed the poem that ends the series. The commission may have been inspired by the Flaxmans' seeing Blake's water-color designs to Edward Young's Night Thoughts, begun in 1795. The Gray illustrations follow the same basic format. Blake cut windows in large sheets of the same type of Whatman paper used for the Night Thoughts illustrations and mounted in these windows the texts of Gray's poems from a 1790 octavo edition published by John Murray, leaving out some prefatory materials, fly-titles, the notes, and the 7 engraved illustrations. Blake then drew and colored his designs surrounding the letterpress texts. On blank versos near the beginning of each poem, and in one case on a separate piece of paper pasted over letterpress text, Blake inscribed with pen and ink either titles for each design or quotations from the poem to indicate the passage illustrated. On most text pages, Blake also drew a pencil cross left of the first line of the illustrated passage. He numbered most leaves consecutively in pen and ink, beginning a new sequence for each of the 13 poems. Blake conceived of his work as an illustrated book, rather than a series of unbound designs, as indicated by his offsetting Gray's texts above and to the right (left on versos) from the middle of each leaf then the convention for all letterpress books. Although listed by William Michael Rossetti in his catalogue of Blake's drawings and paintings, published in the 1863 and 1880 editions of Alexander Gilchrist's Life of William Blake, the Gray illustrations were virtually unknown until their rediscovery by Herbert Grierson in 1919. The Trianon Press reproductions are recognized as the finest examples of the art of facsimile reproduction; working from the originals in Paul Mellon s collection, each leaf is faithfully hand-colored through stencils to achieve an astonishing exactitude. The Times Literary Supplement stated that nothing like these books had ever been printed before and that it was highly unlikely that they could be printed again. Bentley, Blake Books, 385.
