A. Rigden Read


'Stormy Seas'

Colour woodcut, c.1930


Unlike many of the other prints in this section, which have been my 'friends' for many years, this one is new to me ... I first saw it just this morning, when I received a copy of an old book in the mail.

I was captivated by it instantly; especially enjoying how Mr. Read solved some design problems very similar to some on which I am currently working. I started to think of how I could share these prints with other people, and immediately sat down and started to put together this "Editor's Choice" section.
