Octavo. 96pp. Photographs visualize Leighton's instructions in the practice of wood engraving and cutting. The latter two-thirds of the volume is devoted to a tremendous span of examples from some of the chief practitioners of the craft, among them Eric Gill, Blair Hughes-Stanton, Agnes Miller Parker, Paul Nash, and of course Leighton. The second installment in the publisher's "How to do it" series. Bound in black and white patterned paper over cloth-backed boards. Extremities rubbed and somewhat bumped, trace motes of foxing to top edge, toning evident but constrained to outermost leaves. Very good.
