EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled "Poster for the Society of Wood Engravers, 1920" showcases the remarkable talent of Eric Gill. The print is a testament to Gill's mastery of his craft, as he skillfully captures intricate details and textures through delicate lines and shading. The central focus of the poster is a majestic tree with branches reaching towards the heavens. Its strong presence symbolizes growth, strength, and resilience - qualities that are closely associated with wood engraving itself. Surrounding the tree are various tools commonly used in this art form: spitstickers, which are small chisels used for fine detailing; letters representing typography; and emblems denoting different artistic societies. Gill's design seamlessly combines these elements into a harmonious composition that exudes elegance and sophistication. Each element plays its part in conveying the importance of collaboration within artistic communities like the Society of Wood Engravers. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. It serves as a reminder not only of Gill's exceptional talent but also of the rich history behind wood engraving as an art form. As we admire this timeless piece, we can't help but be transported back to an era where craftsmanship was highly valued and celebrated.
