Just a couple of my favourites from Lynd Ward’s illustrations of Les Miserables

#Les Miserables #the brick #Lynd Ward #Jean Valjean #Javert #if anyone would like to pay the hundreds of dollars I’d need to do actual scans of these feel free #in the meantime be content with shitty screenies from archive dot org #can I also say how obsessed I am with the star imagery even tho like… obvi this was illustrated decades before the musical #and I feel like stars were not a big part of Javert’s thoughts in the brick

Milestone Monday

On this day, June 26 in 1905, the American illustrator, wood engraver, lithographer, and wordless novelist Lynd Ward was born in Chicago, Illinois, the second child of Harry F. Ward, the first chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union. Lynd Ward, who died in 1985, had a long, distinguished career as an illustrator and designer, and his six very popular wordless novels strongly influenced the development of the graphic novel.

To celebrate this milestone, we present all the wood engravings reproduced in Lynd Ward Wood Engravings 1929-1974, the catalog of a retrospective exhibition of Ward's prints mounted by the Associated American Artists in New York City, May 13-31, 1974, in conjunction with the publication of Storyteller Without Words: The Wood Engravings of Lynd Ward, published by Harry N. Abrams. The exhibition presented 46 of Ward's prints. Our copy of the catalog is yet another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.
