‘The Sage Damsel.’ 1901. Wood engraving by Charles March Gere (1869-1957). 3¾ x 5½ inches; facing 224. Another of Gere's designs in which he focuses on the weighted moment of a significant encounter. The composition is an accomplished example of the artist’s manipulation of the intervals between blanks and blocked areas of naturalistic study. [Click on image to enlarge it.]
