Book Description
A richly illustrated, comprehensive introduction to the visionary artist William Blake. William Blake (1757–1827) is a universal artist—an inspiration to musicians, poets, performers, and visual artists worldwide. By combining his poetry and images on the page through radical printing techniques, Blake created some of the most striking and enduring images in art. His personal struggles in a period of political terror and oppression; creativity, inventiveness, and technical innovation; and vision and political commitment keep his work relevant today. Featuring over 130 color images, this accessible yet comprehensive introduction to Blake’s achievements and ambition includes discussions of his legacy in America; relationship to the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artists who preceded him; visionary imagination; and unparalleled skill as a printmaker.

Book Description
Paul Mellon (1907--1999) assembled one of the world’s greatest collections of British drawings and watercolors. In his memoirs he wrote of their “beauty and freshness… their immediacy and sureness of technique, their comprehensiveness of subject matter, their vital qualities, their Englishness.” This catalogue celebrating the centenary of Mellon's birth features eighty-eight outstanding watercolors from the fifty thousand works of art on paper with which he endowed the Yale Center for British Art. The selection spans the emergence of watercolor painting in the mid-18th century to its apogee in the mid-19th. These works highlight the diversity of British watercolors, showcasing both landscape and figurative works by some of the principal artists working in the medium, including Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Rowlandson, William Blake, and J. M.W. Turner.

Book Description
Excerpt from Matthew Hargraves IN the year 1807, there was born to Thomas Hargraves, stout and respected landlord of the Hope and Anchor inn at Greenwich, in the county of Kent, a first and only son. A very charming little country village was the Greenwich Of those days, with its Silver streak of river running through it, its great park with fine old elms, its noble palace, and its historic associa tions. In 1807, it was still a fashionable place, with Princess Sophia, the jolly, fat, generous, good natured niece of George living in the Ranger's Lodge, and, in the summer, parties of gentlemen from the House of Commons constantly coming down on the ordnance barges to eat whitebait dinners at the Ship, the Crown and Sceptre, or on the rose-covered balcony, overlooking the water, Of the Hope and Anchor.
