{"product_id":"lankes-his-woodcut-bookplates-paperback","title":"Lankes, His Woodcut Bookplates - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eJulius John Lankes was born in Buffalo, New York in 1884, and became a prolific woodcut print artist, as well as an author and professor. As a child, he enjoyed working with the scraps of wood his father brought home from the lumber mill where he was employed. Lankes had a lifelong interest in art. He first worked in drafting after graduating from Buffalo Commercial and Electro-Mechanical Institute, but then attended art school. Lankes was a prolific artist. It is estimated he produced over 1,000 woodcut prints. He worked on many, varied projects, including from a historically important collection of Pennsylvania Dutch barns, graphics in The Liberator, and illustrations to accompany works by Beatrix Potter, Robert Frost and others. In addition to A Woodcut Manual, Lankes enjoyed a long teaching career that ultimately led him to being elected to the National Academy of Design. This new edition is dedicated to Charles Kreiner, an enthusiast for all things Buffalonian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50833875927263,"sku":"9781633913691","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/4vKlfhQ8yW9781633913691.webp?v=1785869759","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/lankes-his-woodcut-bookplates-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
