Collins & New Zealand Sets & Fitzwilliam Plates", "...Illustrations of the Book of Job Alternative Printing Without Plate Mark" and "...Hand coloured Maquettes and First Proofs from Pochoirs with Comments"; Parts IVa-d - The second collection of "Additional Materials" comprising four portfolios with numerous plates thus: "Proofs, Guides and Stencils for Colour Plates from Colour Versions... Trianon Press, Paris, c.1974", "...First Proofs from the Collotype Plates with Notes by Arnold Fawcus", "Pages from the 'Riches' Sketchbook with Colour Washes (not published)", "Facsimiles of Subjects from the Butts Version Watercolours Printed Collotype by Emery Walker for the Pierpoint Morgan Library Edition, 1935". Slight rubbing to the head of the spine of one of the solander boxes, occasional slight dustiness to the slipcases, excellent condition overall. John Commander's set with his name inscribed on the limitation leaf, being one of five "containing extra material... specially made up for those most closely concerned with bringing the publication to completion". Commander spent his life in publishing and for many years headed the Scolar Press. An expert on Blake, he was heavily involved in the refounding of the William Blake Trust and was appointed as secretary and executive director of the organisation. A scarce work to begin with, this is a highly desirable set of this expanded and very limited issue given to an esteemed authority on Blake who had did much to promote the study and enjoyment of the artist's work over many decades.
