About this work

Eric Gill carved *Adam and Eve* in 1923. It’s a wood engraving—ink pressed onto paper from a carved block. The print shows two figures framed by a simple border. Gill was a busy man. He designed sculptures, fonts, even buildings like Broadcasting House. He also wrote books and kept detailed notes about his work. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
