A love song to New York, by one of America's greatest woodcut artists
In 1915 the Grolier Club commissioned Rudolph Ruzicka, the foremost woodcut artist of his day, to produce a series of illustrations celebrating New York City at a time of rapid, remarkable change. Today, New York is one of the most sought-after of Grolier Club publications. To capture the city at the turn of the 21st century, the Club has commissioned a successor volume. Two and a half years in the making, New York Revisited is a collaboration between noted contemporary woodcut artist Gaylord Schanilec and writer Kenneth Auchincloss, describing the transformations, physical and social, that New York has undergone in the last hundred years, up to and including the cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001. The volume has been designed by Gaylord Schanilec and printed by him at his press, Midnight Paper Sales, in an edition of 200 copies. Grolier Club Fine Printing, New Series No. 3. Cloth, in slipcase.
