More Woodcuts and Old Book Art
Here are a few more gems I have found and digitized, though we still haven't caught up to the quality of old printing techniques, advanced as digital technology is.
Agnes Miller Parker, woodcut from Shakespeare's Poems, 1950s.
From Grimm's Household Stories, 1963 reprint of 1886 edition. Artist: Walter Crane.
Harry Steele Savage from "Arabian Nights" 1932, pen and ink.
The Coiffure, 1888 Renoir. 1958 print made from a photograph of the original which is in a private collection.
Gwen Frostic, 1965, block print.
Great Gray Owl by Audubon from a 1942 reprint of the 1820s book "Birds of North America".
Great! Beautiful images. Please, bring us more!
Really good art pic you have presented here

The reference to Grimm's took me back. Somewhere I have a book on Grimm's fairy tails. Thanks @pinkspectre.
These are awesome. I really like the Arabian nights image and the owl. It's so intricate!
