Geoffrey Wales' prints were a central part of the British response to modernism.  He used wood engravings when it was not popular to do so.  This pioneer study places his work in the context of advanced printmaking of its time and pays tribute to an artist of quiet, but revolutionary integrity.  Illustrated with many wood engravings by Wales.  Co-published with Primrose Hill Press, London, England.
