It seems likely that Blake was engaged during much of the interim from 1795 to 1808 on Vala, though there has never been any definite evidence relating to its date other than the 1797 on the titlepage.

text: Compilers of dictionaries of painters and engravers, such as Horace Walpole, Samuel Redgrave, and Michael Bryan, place him in the mid-seventeenth century, record his death in about 1667 (which may be more than ten years too early), assign to him a number of portraits, maps, and titlepage engravings, and generally disparage the quality of his work.

Senses: examples: text: The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has confirmed the Navy has hardened bases against a High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) attack but denied that a new base had been specifically built for this purpose.[…]
On Monday (Oct. 30), RW News cited sources familiar with the matter as saying the Navy has already completed a base in New Taipei City's Sanzhi District that can withstand HEMP attacks.[…]
If China was to launch a HEMP attack, the base in Sanzhi would probably still be able to command the launch of Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missile launchers in northern coastal areas, as well as shore-based Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The firing of such missiles would prevent PLA Navy (PLAN) ships from entering the northern and northeastern waters of the Taiwan Strait.
When asked to confirm that a new base has been built in Sanzhi District to withstand a HEMP attack, Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) on Monday (Oct. 30) said the work was part of an ongoing project, reported Liberty Times.
