William James Linton (1812 1897) was a wood-engraver, poet, prose
writer and political activist, who first worked in London but
emigrated to the United States in 1866. He began his wood-engraving
apprenticeship at the age of sixteen under the well-known London
engraver G. W. Bonner. Linton's mature work, championing the use of
'white lining' and favouring the use of horizontal engraved lines
and creating tone by differing line thickness, continued in the
tradition of Thomas Bewick (1753 1828), the founding figure of
wood-engraving. The publication of this book in 1884 marked the
culmination of Linton's career, though he continued to research and
write on the subject. The manual, originally published in only five
hundred copies, is beautifully illustrated with Linton's own
engravings and is a rich source for anyone interested in the
technical details as well as the historical development of this
specialist craft.
