Item description from seller

Pbk, accordion-folded 32mo (3” x 4.5”) with stiff card covers, 12 b+w woodcuts of rickshaw drivers, after arrest in 1938 following Kristalnacht, and a short period of time confined to Dachau, Bloch emigrated to Shanghai to continue his work as a graphic artist and designer, there he published several sets of woodcuts depicting everyday life in Shanghai “The woodcuts in Rickshaw depict the desperately underprivileged class of rickshaw drivers and their vehicles and capture their precarious status within an urban society already struggling with ineffable poverty – a popular motif propagated by political groups from the right and the left, by colonizers and colonized.” Gift inscription on front cover verso, light even toning to card covers, tiny spot to front cover lower left, internally a fine, clean, tight and unmarked text, overall a near-fine copy of this scarce original set of Bloch’s Shanghai woodcuts.
