Ocherki po istorii sovremennoĭ gravi︠u︡ry v Rossii : ksilografii︠a︡ i linogravi︠u︡ra / L.R. Varshavskiĭ.

Varshavskiĭ, Lev Romanovich, 1891- · 1923 · Moskva : "Kniga" Buch- und Lehrmittel-Gesellschaft · 22 pictures

A 1923 Moscow history of modern Russian wood engraving and linocut by L.R. Varshavskiĭ, published by the Kniga Buch- und Lehrmittel-Gesellschaft, written for readers interested in printmaking. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut prints with bold hatched shadows, dense crosshatching, and strong contrast, showing city streets, a crowded interior of books and objects, a historical portrait group, and a river-front view with a bronze horse rider; a designer might take their graphic economy of black line and shape.
