Wood engraving is a way of making prints. It is one of the simplest and most approachable of artists' media and can be done on the kitchen table. Yet its sophisticated and powerful images for wall or page have played an important role in twentieth century art. Anyone interested in any aspect of the subject will find that this book is much more than just an instruction manual. It expands and illuminates appreciation not only of wood engraving but of the nature of art itself. Profusely illustrated. Book in very good condition. Faint musty odour but no sign of any damp damage. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Some minor soiling and light edge wear.
