Add to basket1946. Reprint. 57pp., 27 figures within the text, 4 illustrations of wood engravings, and 4 pages of advertisements. This book is not a treatise upon the art of wood-engraving. it is simply a description of the tools and materials required by a beginner and the methods of using them. It was written at the insistence of Eric Gill, who has contributed an introduction. The author was apprenticed to one of the old-established firms of wood-engravers in London and was for some years instructor in Engraving at the London County Council School, Bolt Court, Fleet Street. The book is bound in the original grey cloth covered boards with red titling on the spine. The book is in very good condition and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with some soiling. Very small pieces are missing from the corner tips and up to about 1/8" is missing from the spine ends. The top edge is rubbed with a tear of about 1/2" near the top front edge and there is chipping with a small bit of loss on the top rear edge.
