“这本书精彩地展现了1900年至1950年间木版画的多种风格。插图精美绝伦，主题、技法和风格都变化多端。我非常喜欢欣赏这些版画，文字也引人入胜，可读性极强。”——杰斐逊-麦迪逊地区图书馆系统

二十世纪初，木版画艺术在英国艺术家中蓬勃发展。这些作品在设计和技法上都与前辈截然不同，形成了木版画艺术的一个新的分支。本书以一系列精雕细琢的黑白和彩色图像，展示了五十年来的精美木版画作品，这些图像选自众多来源，包括临时展览和限量版中鲜为人知的作品。

插图之前是一段内容丰富的艺术史，追溯了木版画从其早期发展到衰落和复兴的历程。接下来将按时间顺序呈现一系列令人叹为观止、细节精妙的图像，其中包括埃里克·吉尔、伊恩·麦克纳布、埃里克·拉维利厄斯、约翰·纳什和克莱尔·莱顿等艺术家的作品，以及其他数十位艺术家的作品。从动物和乡村生活的片段，到街景、肖像以及文学片段，本书对木刻艺术蓬勃发展的时代进行了精彩的概述。

"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." — Jefferson-Madison Regional Library System

At the turn of the twentieth century the art of wood-engraving enjoyed a flourishing revival among English artists. These works were so fundamentally different from their predecessors, in both design and technique, that they formed a new branch of the art. This volume showcases five decades' worth of magnificent wood engravings in a series of finely wrought black-and-white and color images, selected from a wide array of sources that includes lesser-known works from temporary exhibitions and limited editions.

An informative history of the art precedes the illustrations, tracing the development of wood-engraving from the art form's earliest days through its decline and resurgence of popularity. A chronological presentation of striking, intricately detailed images follows, featuring the works of such noted artists as Eric Gill, Iain Macnab, Eric Ravilious, John Nash, and Clare Leighton, in addition to scores of others. Ranging from vignettes of animals and rural life to street scenes, portraits, and episodes from literature, this survey offers a magnificent overview of the vibrant era in the art of wood-engraving.
