Throughout his lifetime the name Henry Fuseli (1741-1825) was constantly invoked as the epitome of untrammelled genius and originality. In our own day he is recognised not only as a seminal figure in the rise of Romanticism but as a great artist and master illustrator in his own right. He is also the only member of the Royal Academy ever to hold the positions of Professor of Painting and Keeper in that institution concurrently. This comprehensive catalogue of the prints and engraved illustrations by and after Henry Fuseli explores the nature and extent of Fuseli's role as history painter cum illustrator. It documents the intricate financial, artistic and business practices that shaped the complex working relationships between artist, engraver, printer and publisher. Such materials also help elucidate how engraved versions of Fuseli's and other artists' paintings stimulated public interest in the arts and literature, thereby becoming an important means of cultural transmission to the middle class.

"This study, the first devoted primarily to the non-commercial printmaking of the period, begins with the earliest abstract prints by artists such as Edward Wadsworth and David Bomberg. Outstanding among the achievements of the 1920s and 1930s are the spare linocuts of Ben Nicholson, the striking evocations of speed and modernity by Claude Flight and Cyril Power, the adventurous blueprints of John Banting, and the Surrealist engravings of Stanley Hayter, while the 1940s and 1950s saw the monotypes of Robert Colquhoun, Alan Davie and William Gear, the etchings of Lucian Freud and Richard Hamilton, and the remarkable variety of work produced by the St. Ives group. The survey draws to a close with the experimental screenprints and lithographs of the sculptors Reg Butler, Eduardo Paolozzi, William Turnbull and Michael Sandle. Over 230 prints are discussed and illustrated, and biographies and bibliographical information given for each of the 65 artists represented". -Back cover.

Blake Books Supplement is a continuation of Blake Books (1977), a bibliographical record of publications covering all aspects of William Blake's life and work - his writings, drawings, and engravings - and works of criticism on them. Most of the information in the Supplement was published inthe period 1972-1992, but there are items newly recorded here which appeared as early as the 1790s. The mass of new material is enormous - the last 20 years have produced almost as many items for inclusion as the preceding 200 years covered in the original Blake Books. Some of the most important discoveries concern newly identified writings and engravings by Blake himself. The work is organizedlike Blake Books, enabling the two volumes to be used side by side.
