Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Carrington are among the thirteen artists represented in this book. All of them were primarily painters or sculptors who experimented briefly with woodcuts and linocuts between 1911 and 1921.

Judith Collins has written an extended essay putting these cuts in the context of the revival of the woodcut in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The text is greatly enhanced by extensive quotations from the writings of Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Carrington, Virginia and Leonard Woolf and others.

148 pages, 347 x 255mm, showing 165 cuts (17 in colour), printed on Stockwell acid-free paper, bound in full cloth with endpapers based on one of the Omega Workshops' pattern papers, in a slipcase.
