About This Item
no place (France or Belgium): the artist, 1917. An haunting collection of 10 large folio (45 x 30 cm) meditative chiaroscuro woodcuts by Darcy, each signed and justified by the artist, depicting churches destroyed during World War I. Darcy had made sketches on the spot and executed the woodcuts, employing Japanese techniques, soon afterwards. A manuscript justification, signed by Darcy, is laid in. Edition limited to 25 copies, all printed on fine laid Japanese bamboo paper. Three additional proofs laid in. Large folio. FINE AND BRIGHT. Housed in the original folder, with an additional woodcut affixed to the front cover. Complete sets, like this one, are of the greatest rarity.
