Project Gutenberg 2014-01-06 Public domain in the USA. 245 Beedham, R. J. 1879 1975 Beedham, R. John Gill, Eric 1882 1940 Gill, Arthur Eric Rowton Wood Engraving "Wood Engraving" by R. J. Beedham is a practical guide on the techniques and tools used in wood engraving, written during the early 20th century. The book focuses on the basics necessary for beginners who are interested in this craft, especially in light of the decline of wood engraving due to the rise of photographic reproduction technologies. It covers essential topics such as the materials used, methods for drawing and engraving, and proper techniques for proof-taking and preparing blocks for printing. The content of the book is structured to provide a thorough introduction to the craft of wood engraving. Beedham outlines the tools required—such as various engraving tools and a sandbag—and emphasizes the importance of using boxwood as the ideal medium for fine work. The book also includes practical advice on drawing techniques, engraving processes, and how to take proofs effectively. Beedham laments the degradation of artistic standards in favor of commercial success and urges aspiring engravers to take personal responsibility for their work, establishing a connection between artistry and individual craftsmanship. Overall, it serves both as a manual for practical skills and a philosophical reflection on the nature of art in the context of industrialization.
