J.& J. Tharaud. L’Ombre de la Croix [The Shadow of the Cross]. Text in French

(BRANGWYN, FRANK).

Paris

1931

Seventy-three dry-point ethchings by Brangwyn, numbered in pencil. Two volumes. Titles printed in red and black. Opening letters printed in red

The illustrations portray ghetto life and depict the sufferings of Eastern European Jews. Many of the etchings are small, measuring less than a square inch and no doubt were a strain to execute; they reveal the scope of Brangwyn’s ability to design powerful images without a large surface
