SynopsisIn the early twentieth century, a host of maverick artists introduced the idea of the graphic novel, a story told exclusively with wood engravings. Not a word of text, dialogue, plot, or description. James Reid was one of these talented men, a versatile artist whose illustrations first graced Life magazine and a variety of children's books. In this beautiful volume--one of the first wordless books ever published--he celebrates the most important events in the life of Christ using a series of stylized woodcut prints. Although many books have explored this sacred subject, Reid's is unique, relying on seventy-one dramatic black-and-white images for a moving retelling of the greatest story ever told. Eloquent in their simplicity, the woodcuts depict the Annunciation, Mary and Joseph searching for an inn, Mary Magdalene washing the feet of Jesus, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, Ascension, and more. The Life of Christ in Woodcuts will be treasured by collectors of religious books and anyone with an interest in art history., Eloquent in its simplicity, this moving retelling of the greatest story ever told relies exclusively on stunning woodcut prints in place of text. Includes 71 illustrations -- from the Annunciation of Mary to Christ's Ascension., Although there are many volumes that explore the life of Christ, this one is unique, relying exclusively on stunning woodcut prints in place of text. Eloquent in its simplicity, it offers 71 black-and-white illustrations -- from the Annunciation of Mary to Christ's ascension into heaven -- in a moving retelling of the greatest story ever told.
