  Luigi Schiavonetti
Luigi Schiavonetti (April 1, 1765-June 7, 1810), Italian engraver, was born at Bassano in Venetia[?].
After having studied art for several years he was employed by Testolini, an engraver of very indifferent abilities, to execute imitations of Bartolozzi's works, which he passed off as his own.
In 1790 Testolini was invited by Bartolozzi to join him in England, and, it having been discovered that Schiavonetti, who accompanied him, had executed the plates in question, he was employed by Bartolozzi and became an eminent engraver in both the line and the dot manner.

Luigi [Lewis, Louis] Schiavonetti (b Bassano, 1 April 1765; d London, 7 June 1810) was a pupil of the painter Giulio Golini before learning to engrave.
The critic William Paulet Carey wrote that ‘although not a pupil of Bartolozzi’; Luigi ‘had the advantage of his opinions and example’; he proved to be one of the ablest engravers of the day, capable of working in stipple, line and with the etching needle.
By 1800 Luigi and his brother Niccolo Schiavonetti (b Bassano, 1771; d London, 23 April 1813) were established as publishers, and among their publications were four large plates, engraved jointly with Anthony Cardon, of The Storming of Seringapatam after Robert Ker Porter.

The deal was that Blake should engrave his own designs but, having secured the subscriptions, Cromek handed the designs over to Louis (or Luigi) Schiavonetti (1765-1810) whose smooth engraving style he judged more to the public taste.
To be fair to Schiavonetti though, he did an excellent job and was almost certainly not aware of having helped rob poor William.
Another peculiarity of the book was that it was published with the pictures bunched together at the end instead of facing the relevant verses.

Until the watercolours resurfaced more than a year ago there had been no trace of the illustrations since Cromek's widow sold the originals at auction in Edinburgh in 1836 for 25 shillings.
Cromek had asked Blake, who was living in poverty at the time, to produce the drawings, but was not given a lucrative commission to engrave the works which instead went to the more fashionable engraver Luigi Schiavonetti.
Two Yorkshire book dealers, Paul Williams and Jeffery Bates, found the folio in Caledonia Books in Glasgow and took it to Dominic Winter, a Wiltshire book auctioneer who had it verified by Blake experts.

Blake had been expecting to turn his efforts into engravings but Cronek refused him the job.
Instead, the more fashionable Luigi Schiavonetti was hired.
He engraved 12 of Blake's watercolours for the edition and rejected eight - the seven unknown to scholars plus one other that has since been separated from the collection - and Cronek's widow sold the originals at auction in Edinburgh in 1836 for the princely sum of £1.25.
