Note du spécialiste

"1932. Landacre painstakingly repairs an old Washington hand press which Willard Morgan, a photographer and neighbor finds in 1930 in an abandoned gold mining camp in Bodie, California. On this restored hand press Landacre prints nearly all of his wood engravings for the duration of his life." - Jake Milgram Wien, from the chronology appended to the forthcoming Paul Landacre: California Hills & Beyond.
