The 72nd Annual Society of Wood Engravers exhibition is currently on show in London at the Bankside Gallery (next door to Tate Modern). The exhibition features work by engravers from the UK and abroad.
The vast majority of the images are black and white showing the graphic quality and fine detail unique to the medium.
In addition to a wide range of work from Society members, you can also view the twenty five engravings that have been commissioned for Box 25, a set of prints celebrating the 25th anniversary of the refounding of the society. Illustrated below is Peter Lawrence's interpretation of the number 25.
To find out more about the exhibition (which runs in London until October 4th but will tour again later in the year) visit the Society's website.
