Description
1805. Chichester: J.Seagrave for Richard Phillips, 1805. Small 8vo, (6), 212, (1, index)pp., with 5 plates designed and engraved by Blake. Overall a clean and very pleasing copy in contemporary calf, skillfully rebacked retaining the original backstrip and red label. Bookplate of Benjamin Dickinson, ink signature of J.W. Dickinson dated Oct. 9th 1824, later bookplate of Walter Hirst. § First edition, with plates 1-3 in the first state. An important book in the Blake canon, being his second version of the Ballads after the extremely rare 1802 edition (see above for the frontispiece). "For this 1805 volume, Hayley added twelve ballads to the four first published in 1802. Blake engraved new plates of his designs for three of the 1802 ballads (plates 1-3) and both designed and engraved new illustrations for two of the additional ballads (plates 4-5). Blake and Phillips were to "go equal shares . . . in the expense and the profits" (Blake's letter to Hayley of 22 January 1805, Erdman page 763). Robert Southey's mocking review of Hayley's poems and Blake's illustration to "The Dog" (Plate 1) appeared in the Annual Review for 1805." Bentley, BB, 465. Easson and Essick, WBBI, Vol. I, VIII.

Washington DC: Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 1992. Certificate. Paper. Near fine. Presidential Appointment naming Ambassador Edward J. Perkins to the National Advisory Council on the Public Service, dated April 9, 1992.. Wood frame, white matte. Full piece measures 26" x 22", covered with museum glass. Both signatures of President George H.W. Bush and James Baker III appear to be autopen. Not examined outside of frame. A fine framed piece. Dr. Edward J. Perkins (1928-2020) served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as well as Liberia, South Africa, and Australia throughout his 25-year foreign service career. In 1986 President Ronald Reagan appointed Perkins to serve as ambassador to South Africa in hopes of fending off a congressional override to his veto of economic sanctions against the country. It was a controversial decision amidst apartheid in South Africa, and many Black leaders urged Perkins to not take the role. Perkins accepted the position and served until 1989, one year before Nelson Mandela was released from prison. He was appointed U.N. Ambassador by George H.W. Bush in 1992, serving for one year.
