A celebration by Crispin and Jan Elsted (of the Barbarian Press) of the detailed engravings of Brender à Brandis, illustrator, book artisan and champion of wood engraving in Canada, particularly through the curation of a highly influential touring exhibition in 1990. 'I decided to become a wood engraver one afternoon in either 1963 or 1964. I did a fern plant in just a few white lines. I thought it was a wonderful medium. The clarity of the impression, and the fact that even the smallest cuts into the block would print, delighted me.' (the artist's introduction).
