Description
The Ashmolean Museum's wood engraving collection is one of the greatest in the world. This book showcases some of its finest examples. The Ashmolean has an extensive collection of over 3,000 prints, including a significant group of wood engravings, which was largely acquired by Arthur Mitchell in 1964. The collection has continued to grow through acquisitions from artists and exhibitions, featuring notable wood engravers such as John Farleigh, Clare Leighton, Monica Poole, and Anne Desmet. More recent additions have come from the Society of Wood Engravers (SWE), ensuring the collection remains up-to-date. This publication brings together a comprehensive selection of these remarkable works. With 48 pages of high-quality prints, this book offers a unique glimpse into the Ashmolean's impressive wood engraving collection.
