Cloth. 393 pp. 743 bw plates. A lovely presentation of the complete blocks from his six narratives, as well as other blocks created for greeting cards, bookplates, and individual prints. Essential book on this artist. "For this unique volume of Ward's work, the artist himself has supervised the design of the book and has contributed the text, describing his methods of working, the history of woodcuts, and the goals of his art. The...large-scale plates reproduce the six narratives in their entirety, and also include bookplates, greeting cards, and a large selection of individual prints, many published for the first time; the work represented spans more than forty years..."--From book jacket.
