WILLIAM BLAKE AT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE
The purpose of this poster session is to broaden appreciation both for William Blake's artistic and technical talent as it was exhibited even in work-for-hire and for holdings of his works at the National Library of Medicine. Nine engravings by William Blake that accompanied 18th-century medical and scientific books from the collection of the NLM's History of Medicine Division were studied. They were found to exemplify various skills and techniques representative of those used in book illustration during late-18th-century Europe. Historical and biographical research coupled with art historical observation was the methodology used to analyze the works. We found that the nine engravings and etchings interrelate in interesting ways. It is not surprising that Blake was commissioned to do work-for-hire. What is fascinating, however, is the tension that resonates from his works at this time, in some places exhibiting bold attempts at new techniques, but in others yet adhering to traditional practices..
