WOLLSTONECRAFT, Mary (1759-1797). Original Stories from Real Life. London: J. Johnson, 1791.
12° (163 x 100mm). Engraved frontispiece and 5 plates by and after William Blake. With final advertisement leaf. (Frontispiece tipped onto front free endpaper, outer margin of A4-6 slightly miscut, lower corner of C4 a little damaged, H6r, H7v-8r with minor stains at margin.) Later 19th-century calf, spine gilt, edges stained yellow (rubbed along joints, light scuff marks on covers, corners a little worn). Provenance: Elizabeth Sage Goodwin (bookplate).
Second edition. First published without Blake's illustrations and without Mary Wollstonecraft's name on the title-page in 1788. Although the engravings follow the idiom of Stothard, "they excel their model in the contrast between the classical grace of the happy scenes and the emotional power of the tragic" (Bindman, p. 470). While Blake and Mary Wollstonecraft may have met at Joseph Johnson's, there is no reliable historical record of any meeting between them. Ashley IX, p. 157; Bentley 514A; Rothschild 2597; Windle Wollstonecraft 3.
