BLAKE, William (1757-1827), illustrator – YOUNG, Edward (1683-1765)
The Complaint, and The Consolation; or, Night Thoughts. London: R. Noble for R. Edwards, 1797.
First edition, with etched and engraved titles and borders throughout by Blake. Blake created 537 watercolour drawings to encircle the text of Young’s Night Thoughts, a poem in nine parts. In the end, only this first part containing 4 parts and 43 designs (‘in a perfectly new style of decoration’) was published. As Bentley notes, ‘the paper was only marginally larger than the copperplate, and even in untrimmed copies ... parts of the platemark may not appear.’ Bentley 515; Keynes 200; Ray, The Illustrator and the Book 3.

Large quarto (416 x 323mm). 43 engravings by and after William Blake, forming part-titles and borders to text, ‘Explanation of Engravings’ leaf at end extended at fore-margin, paper watermarked '1794 J Whatman' (some light off-setting, occasional faint thumb-soiling, small stain at extreme top edge of about 4 lvs., imprint trimmed or shaved on pls. 4, 7, 13 and 20). Modern red straight-grained morocco gilt.
