Original wood engraving by Charles William Taylor.

Excellent signed proof impression with strong, even inking.

Charles William Taylor chose an impression of this wood engraving for exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1947 (shown as item no.1034 in the exhibition). Taylor’s unusual approach to creating a dramatic background sky is especially notable in this particular wood engraving.

On simile Japan paper with full margins and deckle edge. One small surface blemish, otherwise very fine original condition.
