BibliOdyssey

Walter J. Phillips woodcut
BibliOdyssey is a blog which specializes in book art and science: "Books ~ Illustrations ~ Science ~ History ~ Visual Materia Obscura ~ Eclectic Bookart."

The site features book illustrations from all cultures and times and wonderful links to sources.

The Japanese-looking woodcut above, for instance, is the work of Walter J. Phillips (1884-1963), who was born in England but spent the majority of his life in Canada. This print is "Rime," a 1934 color woodcut on paper.

Enjoy!
