The 2025 Blake market may be considered in quantity and diversity of works not far behind what Robert N. Essick has previously described as the “legendary” sale of W. Graham Robertson’s collection in 1949 and the Frank Rinder sale in November 1993. One blockbuster event dominated the 2025 market: the multi-day sale of drawings, paintings, and prints from Maurice Sendak’s collection.
Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to William Blake (1757–1827)—the British poet, artist, and engraver—and his circle. We publish articles, notes, and book reviews, as well as several annual features: a review of sales of works by Blake and his followers, and checklists of publications and discoveries, music, and exhibitions.
Please consult our contributor guidelines as you prepare your work. Here is the copyright agreement that you will be asked to sign once we receive your submission.
When the Blakes lived on South Molton Street, who were their neighbors? Angus Whitehead goes door to door.
