Title: Nantucket Woodcuts, A Microcosm of American History
Condition: New
Description: This picture book reissue from 1967, from internationally renowned Japanese Canadian woodcut artist Naoko Matsubara and famed artist and author Fritz Eichenberg, celebrates the island of Nantucket and its varied history, as well as woodcut printing at its best.

Twenty-five miles off the coast of Massachusetts, there is a little island that is only four miles wide and 12 miles long, and yet it contains as much history per square mile as can possibly be imagined. From the Native American tribes who first lived on Nantucket and the English settlers who prospered there, to the booming whale industry and the battles of the American Revolution, Nantucket is a special place whose story is told here through a gripping text and striking woodcuts in vivid greens, blues, oranges, and blacks. This is a gorgeously produced picture book that is ripe for rediscovery, from an artist of the highest caliber worth celebrating!
