Harper's Engravings on Wood Review in 1887
A detailed appraisal of Harper and Brothers new volume Engravings on Wood. The piece praises fifteen selected wood engravings by members of the Society of American Wood Engravers, notes shifts from hand drawing to photographic transfer, discusses limitations of process pictures, and highlights standout plates by Closson, Kruell, and Kingsley while situating the work within late 19th century art and publishing trends. The essay criticizes some tonal choices and calls the volume a lasting, high merit collection.
