Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The first full scale biography of Robert Gibbings, with more than 400 illustrations, encompassing his whole life and providing a context for his work and achievements. Gibbings is often described as having been larger than life, a colourful and adventurous character but he was also responsible, perhaps more than anyone else, for bringing the art of wood-engraving to the attention of the general public. This book brings together a wealth of illustrations, both of Gibbing's own work and photographs recording his life, many unpublished.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 381-412) and index.
