Church under a hill - woodcut by Eric Ravilious, c1928
I do so like woodcut - and the inter-war years in the UK saw a real flowering of this genre. Amongst the best was Eric Ravilious and this work, from the late 1920s, is not only typical of his skill and work but such a wonderful image. Ravilious, who worked closely with Edward Bawden, was killed on active service as a war artist in September 1942. This woodcut was published in the London Mercury magazine in 1928.
