Wood Engraving Wednesday

Today we display some horticultural wood engravings by English/American artist, writer, and illustrator Clare Leighton (1898-1989) from Clare Leighton’s Rural Life: An Anthology, published in Oxford by the Bodleian Library in 2023. The book was edited with an introduction by Leighton’s devoted nephew, David Leighton (1931-2022), who sadly did not live to see its publication. Throughout her long career, Clare Leighton delighted in the organic forms of farms and countryside.

Back from Pictomancer to my private blog for a while. ^^;

The theme for today is “Fragile” from Illustration Friday and my take on it is a 心 in a rose.
