Treatise on Wood Engraving, Historical and Practical

A Treatise on Wood Engraving (1839) combines W. A. Chatto's historical interests with the practical insights of the wood-engraver, John Jackson. Containing upwards of three hundred engraved illustrations, the book covers everything from ancient engraved stamps to nineteenth-century woodcuts, culminating in an engaging 'how-to' description of the trade.
