Artwork description:

The title of this wood engraving is taken from the opening line of Siegfried Sassoon's 1918 poem, 'Attack'. This work was featured in the Society of Graphic Fine Art's exhibition of the theme of Remembrance.

Note - actual image size is 10x15cm. It is hand-printed on a larger piece of paper to allow generous margins for framing, mounting, etc. This work is also available mounted and framed: please contact the artist for more information.

Wood engraving is a form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
