- Summary
- Wood engraving, as practised by Thomas Bewick in the late 1700s, was for over a century the commonest means of illustrating printed work. Not until the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement, the gaining of women's franchise, and the establishment of engraving classes in art schools, did women come into their own as wood engravers. The work of these women is represented and discussed in this lavishly illustrated study of women engravers. Well-researched and documented, this is both a valuable contribution to the scholarship of women in the arts and crafts, and a beautiful art book.
