Book illustration by British wood-engravers from 1904 to the beginning
of the Second World War was among the most versatile and inventive
of the graphic arts. In a climate of typographical renaissance, various
wood-engravers
made dynamic impact on the appearance of the
printed page, transforming good books into works of art and influencing
modern standards of book production.
This extraordinary book reveals the methods by which these pioneering
artists broke
with nineteenth-century illustrative practices.
Detailed studies of unpublished material, including art school records,
publishers’ and print
societiess’ archives, and artists’ correspondence, throws new light on the
work and practices
of these innovative artists. Reprinted from 1998 Oxford University Press
edition. Co-published
with The British Library.
