A New Bibliography of the Work of Wood Engraver and Illustrator Alexander Anderson.

A recent Oak Knoll Press publication sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society is a comprehensive view of the work of Anderson by the bibliographer Jane R. Pomeroy. Anderson, the first skilled relief engraver in America, achieved a prodigious output covering subjects and publications including literature, separate prints and broadsides, children's books, ephemera anti political cartoons, almanac advertisements and bookplates. Through the use of Anderson's proof books, Pomeroy has identified the images that he created and the publications for which they were commissioned, thereby revealing Anderson's status as an artist and master wood engraver.
