A catalogue raisonne of Edward Ardizzone's work as a printmaker, this is also an explanation of the processes and techniques used by the artist whose reputation as a book-illustrator, official war artist and witty social commentator in pen-and-ink continues to grow in the centenary year of his birth. The book includes typical Ardizzone subjects for printmaking, such as beaches and boats; street scenes and bars; lovers; tarts; young people and children. There are also scenes from the south of France, Oxford colleges, public schools, and World War II.
