The Museum of the Wood Age by Max Adams
For this cover I was keen to follow a process that married woodcraft with historic printing methods. Photos below show my process of reviving an old incomplete letterpress wood font and pairing this with a woodcut illustration by Clare Leighton.
Wood type cut by Mark McKellier. Printed with Paul Crawley at Work & Turn studio in Margate.
