‘Places’ Wood Engraving by Paul Nash

Original wood engraving by Paul Nash (1921). From an edition of 45. This is one of the trial proofs taken from the original block in the V & A by Ian Mortimer for Garton and Cooke in 1985.

‘Although smaller than Nash’s engravings for Places the subject is obviously related. The female nude, reclining beside a lake in a wood is also featured in Black Poplar Pond.’
