1924/note-to-australian-wood-engravers

A Note to Australian Wood Engravers
Mr. Alfred Fowler, editor of The Woodcut Annual, 17 Board of Trade, 
Kansas City, M.O., U.S.A., writes to Art in Australia:-

     "Will you permit me to ask all of your readers who are artists in
wood-engraving to send me certain information about all of the blocks they make during 1924? This information should give the title of the print, the size, and any information about the states and edition as well as other interesting facts concerning each block."

    "This information will be used in an annual list of contemporary
wood-cuts, which will be one of the features of The Woodcut Annual for 1925 which I am now preparing. Other features will comprise several illustrated articles about wood-engraving and reviews of all the more important woodcut books published during the year."

    "A printed form will be supplied to artists for conveniently
describing their blocks, on application to the Editor of The Woodcut Annual."
