### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An interesting art form and history, followed by detailed and breathtaking illustrations
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015*

'English Wood-Engraving 1900-1950' by Thomas Balston is a history and sampling of wood engravings from the early twentieth century.The book tells the history of wood engraving, and talks about how it is different than woodcut drawings.  Woodcuts are quite a bit older, wood engraving came into fashion with the invention of the moveable type and the need for finer illustration styles.  Early illustrations were used in books and the style picked up when photographic techniques of the time failed to give fine reproductions of certain artists drawings.  The history continues through the war years and beyond.  Then it's on to some samples of the work, and they are glorious.  There are nature prints and abstracts and boats.  Works for books and plays and natural histories.  They are detailed and worth the small price of the book.It's a short little work and I quite enjoyed it as a break from my normal reading.  It's a reprint from 1951 and I thank Dover for reprinting.I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you for allowing me to review this fine ebook.

    You won't be dissapointed
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015*

For anyone that is interested in wood - engraving this is a wonderful book. Filled with images of the artist of the time - the fifty years to 1950. They are a pure delight and I found myself studying images and marvelling at the workmanship and  hours spent in producing such wonderful works. There are images from Pissarro,  Paul Nash, Edward Wadsworth, Tunnicliff  (also on the cover) and Robert Gibbings - there are more of course, but these I loved. A great book to get your creative juices going.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fine Anthology.
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2017*

This is a nicely produced medium format paperback, printed on good quality paper.  A good selection of artists is included, and for anyone who has an interest in English representational art in the first half of the twentieth century, this is a really good introduction to work in this medium.
