Artists have produced wood engravings for over two centuries. Cut on the end grain of the wood, these prints are often used in commerce and illustration, such as Thomas Bewick's studies of birds, and also as a fine art process. Valued as an immediate, "hands-on" technique, there is a primitive quality to these works, though they often contain minute details. This exhibition will look at the works of many of the important practitioners of this medium, including Bewick, Howard Cook, Gwen Raverat, Ben Shahn, Winslow Homer, and many others.
