The wood engravings of Gertrude Hermes and Blair Hughes-Stanton

by Katharine Eustace

At Leon Underwood's Brook Green School of Art, Hughes-Stanton and Hermes (one initially a painter, the other a sculptor) produced exuberant visual inventions that "pushed wood engraving to new technical highs, turning it into an avant-garde art." Works for Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" and the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" and others. Immaculately printed and annotated. Distributed by Woodstocker Books.
