English Wood-Engraving 1900-1950 di Thomas Balston
This is a beautifully produced book, a reprint on good paper of a 1951 publication. The introduction is a brief and informative survey of developments in the first half of the 20th century, and this is followed by about 60 pages of wood engraving reproductions from a wide range of artists. very enjoyable.
English Wood-Engraving 1900-1950 is a wonderful look at the many styles of wood engraving from the time period 1900-1950. The illustrations are sublime, and there is a lot of variation both in theme, execution and style. I really enjoyed looking at the engravings, and the text was interesting and very readable. The only downside was how short the book was - I could look at wood engravings all day.

A wonderful book of exquisite wood engravings from some of England's finest artists of the last century.
Showing an England sadly not around any more.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Dover via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.
