BLOCK PRINTED!

I recently found a couple of children's picture books that are illustrated entirely with woodcut prints! I have fell pretty hard for these and decided to do a little research. Below is a link to many more of these fabulous types of books. I have not checked any of these out yet but am excited to dive right in.

If you adore wood and lino printing, you must take a look!
