Biography
John Edgar Platt was one of the British printmakers who turned to the traditional Japanese methods of colour wood block printing just prior to the 1920’s. J.E.Platt was a key exhibitor at the Colour Woodcut Society from its foundation in 1920 and in 1922 he was awarded the Gold Medal at the International Exhibition in Los Angeles (organized by the Society of California Printmakers) for a colour woodcut which was judged to be the best print in any medium.
