About This Item

Whittington Press, Risbury, first edition, 1999. Limited edition of 415 copies, this being one of 375 of the ordinary edition. Quarter-buckram and decorated paper boards, 22 cm,. 84 pp, 36 wood-engravings by John O'Connor. From the publisher's description: "Since 1992, John O'Connor has contributed a monthly wood-engraving to Richard Ingrams' Oldie magazine, illustrating essays on English life and the countryside by Germaine Greer and Candida Lycett Green. This selection of thirty-six of the engravings forms a portrait of English landscape, buildings and people that is engagingly observed and recorded by John O'Connor. His sympathy with the English countryside and his knowledge of its architecture are evocatively demonstrated in these engravings. John O'Connor learned to engrave under Eric Ravilious and John Nash at the Royal College of Art in 1933, and his images of the English landscape and people have appeared almost without interruption since then. The Press published The Wood Engravings of John O'Connor, with a commentary by his wife Jeannie, in 1989, and People and Places continues the story of John's wood-engraving into its sixth decade. Copy no. 292. Near Fine. No slipcase.
