Abigail Rorer is a much respected American wood engraver and publisher of limited edition and fine press books using her own artwork. She was drawn to wood engraving through the work of the German Expressionists and Leonard Baskin and after initial encouragement from Barry Moser, she taught herself how to engrave. She established her Lone Oak Press in 1989. Here she pays tribute to the great English fine press, The Whittington Press, and its beautiful surroundings in the Cotswolds, working alongside Miriam Macgregor the great English wood engraver who lives in Whittington and did so much work with the Whittington Press. In addition it was set and printed in Whittington by Patrick Randle at his Nomad Press.
