Description:First edition. Introduction by Alan Fern. "The Wood and the Graver marks the first time that examples of the artist's work have ever been collected together in one volume. Focusing on his wood engravings, the book includes over 160 samples of Eichenberg's illustrations of the great literary classics. Accompanying the prints are Eichenberg's reflections on his life, his work, and the almost mystical significance that his favorite medium, the woodblock, has assumed in his development as an artist."--from book jacket Includes bibliography and index.
