29x23cm, 136pp. With numerous wood engravings by Gwen Raverat, 'printed for the most part from the original blocks' in black. Bound in full dark grey cloth over boards, title blocked in gold on a green background to backstrip, dustjacket of green / pink paper with reproductions of engravings printed in black. The first edition of 1959. Wood engraving enthusiasts have now become used to 'fine press' treatments of particular artists, exemplified by Simon Lawrence's beautiful Fleece Press books. Although by comparison this much earlier survey has the appearance of a trade edition, in fact it has a very generous selection of engravings well-printed from the blocks. Very Good (a faint white spot to the upper board, otherwise Fine) with a Very Good (slight fade to spine and a couple of small closed tears) dustjacket.
