Printmaking and Books

It seems only fitting that at least some of the project be dedicated to printmaking as most books from the mid-1930s would still have been illustrated using traditional printing techniques; making it the most appropriate choice when visually describing concepts and ideas from that era. Also the fact that for the last two projects it was my chosen focus with regards to medium should be taken into account, especially when it is a subject i would like to pursue once the course has come to its conclusion. David Jones is a good example of an illustrator/printmaker working in the 1930's who has been an inspiration to me.
