From the dust jacket: "John Farleigh was one of the great wood engravers of the Twentieth Century and a considerable influence in his day. He illustrated over twenty books, the best remembered being Bernard Shaw's THE ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK GIRL IN SEARCH OF HER GOD. It brought him instant recognition on its publication in 1932. This book contains examples from all the books he illustrated with wood engravings, including the rare WHOLE WORKS OF HOMER which predated the BLACK GIRL and the exciting and experimental engravings for the Limited Edition of Shaw's BACK TO METHUSELAH published in 1939. Nearly all the fine independent prints which were his most important contribution to British wood engraving are reproduced Monica Poole studied with John Farleigh and is one of the finest wood engravers working today. She therefore writes with authority about the man and his work. The book is a unique work of reference containing over 150 reproductions and will be sought after by. all who have an interest in wood engraving." Oversize Hardcover. 10" wide by 14.5" tall.
