blakequarterly.org/index.php…,
which contains our annual sales feature, plus a review by @lcale2 of the 2019-20 @Tate exhibition and catalogue. I remember this one as our first issue published during lockdown.

A dilapidated English cottage belonging to William Blake, the lauded 18th-century Romantic poet, is about to get a much-needed makeover. Eventually, after crews finish restoring the structure, it will open as a public museum. bit.ly/4e0uqeQ

The tin hat is on. Finally some serious protection has been placed around the Blake Cottage roof. We now have quotes in for a new thatch and new roof timbers to start the restoration project. Help the Blake Cottage Trust. Link to donate: justgiving.com/blake-cottage

The work of poet and artist William Blake went largely unrecognised in his lifetime. In this special blog, using our newspapers, we explore the evolving attitudes to the art of William Blake following his death in 1827 bit.ly/3Kdjihv #ArtHistory #WilliamBlake
ALT Sepia toned composite image, showing on the left a portrait of the artist William Blake, and on the right, an example of his work, an engraving from one of his 'Prophetic Books.' The engraving shows different king of beasts, a kind of elephant creature in the centre, and a lizard or serpent beneath. Above the animals is a depiction of God reaching down, angels beside him, with other figures, presumably mere mortals, beneath the heavenly skies.

We have a cover for our spring issue, which will appear at the end of this month.
The map of 🇦🇺 is a puzzle: what's the connection between each state/territory and the Blake image I've chosen for it? Answers at blog.blakearchive.org/2023/0…

While MSI was developed in its modern form for work with medieval manuscripts (& I mostly use it for that purpose), we are starting to push away from just the Middle Ages. For example @oishani @achillghost and I have a forthcoming article using MSI images to recover William Blake
