Excerpt from The Life and Works of Thomas Bewick: Being an Account of His Career and Achievements in Art, With a Notice of the Works of John BewickThe Art of Engraving on Wood in England, though never practically lost from the period of its first introduction about the end of the fifteenth century, was in a very languid condition at the time when Thomas Bewick was apprenticed in Newcastle in 1767. Professors of the Art did then certainly practise in London, if not also in other places in England, but their produc tions were of a very feeble kind, though they served to keep alive the traditional methods of this branch of Engraving.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
