      Only known example of what 1 of Mr. Blake's plates for relief-etched Illuminated Printing looked like. A portion of a cancelled plate ("Plate a"--a precursor to Plate 3 [Bentley 5]) from *America*. See proof print from entire cancelled plate, Erdman *Illuminated Blake* 392. It was once supposed all the plates Tatham got from Catherine were disposed of; the story of the finding of this portion of a plate is indeed strange.

      On collar at base of bowl: BLAKE IN ANGUISH FELPHAM AUG 1803; "THOU" equals Schofield (spelling varies), who swore his accusations in August 1803 & had been busted down to Private for drunkenness. Doing the curse would entail Blake "dash" the glass "into shivers" (*Jerusalem* 17: 59-62). Unique example of Blake engraving on glass

      Inscribed "CUMEA"--copy after engraving (probably by Adamo Scultori) after drawing of Michelangelo's painting on the cieling of the Sistine Chapel. Pen and black ink and water colors over pencil, 170 x 120 mm

      Adamo Scultori, engraving of the Cumaean Sibyl after drawing after Michelangelo's fresco on the cieling of the Sistine Chapel. Mr. Blake may have used Carlo Losi's 1773 edition of prints from plates engraved after the Sistine cieling by "Adam Sculptor"--there were also 5 previous editions of this set of prints. No one's sure when it was first published (ca. 1550-85), but 1585 is 1 proposed date. Critics old & new mistakenly call Signor Scultori "Adamo Ghisi" (he worked with Ghisi)
