Description:"Although the paintings of Winslow Homer have long held a special place in the affections of the American public, his wood engravings, among the best ever produced by an artist, have remained largely unknown. Stored away in museum print rooms or in private collections, they have been relatively unavailable to the public. Now, the 'The Wood Engravings of Winslow Homer," we have collected over 200 of this famous artist's engravings, originally done for Harper's Weekly and other periodicals, and present them here together with a biographical introduction and evaluation of the artist's work by Barbara Gelman." - from dust-jacket.
