Blake sc.
[Published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, London, Novemr. 11th 1818]
Stipple and line engraving, sheet 265 x 215mm (10½ x 8½"). Trimmed, losing publication line.
Plate from Abraham Rees' 'The Cyclopaedia; or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature', engraved by the visionary artist and poet William Blake (1757-1827) to illustrate a text by sculptor John Flaxman. After a period of coolness, Blake and Flaxman were on good terms again at this time, and the sculptor intervened to secure Blake several engraving commissions (including this one) in the 1810s. Without these commissions, Blake might well have fallen into dire poverty at this time.

The Representation of an Egyptian Mummy, in the Collection of Rackstrow's Museum Fleet Street.

Three illustrations of an Egyptian mummy, said at the time to be a pharoah's daughter: the front and back of the case and the wrapped figure inside.

Rackstrow was colonel of the Trained Bands (Militia) of the City of London, which had an inactive Samuel Johnson in its ranks.

GV Sc. [1724]
Engraving with original hand-colouring, sheet 340 x 445mm (13½ x 17½"). Trimmed, losing publication line, and glued to backing sheet.
Four views of a mummy case, engraved by George Vertue after a drawing by William Lethieullier. Lethieullier was an army officer who had visited Egypt and was a member of the Egyptian Society founded in 1741. Vertue presented an impression to the Society of Antiquaries, the dedicatee of the print, in 1724. In 1775 Mrs Vertue presented the society with the copper plate. Note on front of album suggests the colour was added by Vertue. Lethieullier bequeathed his mummies to the British Museum in 1756, the first they acquired. Although there were mummies in the collection of Sir Hans Sloane, the basis of the Museum, they later proved to be fake.
