Proof sheet with four engravings from "Blake and the Youthful Ancients".
[Gehenna Press, 1956].
Single sheet (270 x 340 mm) with four original wood engravings, signed by Baskin in pencil. Faint mat shadow, very good. Matted.
§ An interesting sheet bearing four well-printed wood engravings by Leonard Baskin:
- George Richmond Engraving "The Shepherd"
- George Richmond in his Engraving Costume
- Blake After His Visionary Self Portrait
- Blake After Drawing by John Linnell
All four engravings appeared in the Baskin's book, Blake and the Youthful Ancients: Being Portraits of William Blake and his Followers (Gehenna Press, 1956), and this appears to be some sort of proof sheet, although the careful composition, the excellent printing, and the fact the sheet is signed by Baskin, suggests it is was prepared for some more lasting purpose. Matted and ready for framing. Item #126360
