William Blake (1757-1827), poet and painter, was born at Broad Street, London, on 28 November 1757. He served an apprenticeship under the engraver James Basire, 1771-1778, before attending the Royal Academy of Arts. Blake developed a reputation as a painter and engraver through his contributions to works such as Inventions to book of Job, and exhibited his work at the Royal Academy, 1780-1808. He died at Broad Street on 12 August 1827.
