DEATH AND THE PLOUGHMAN'S WIFE

William Strang

The great Scottish artist William Strang made two artists books, writing strange Lallans folk ballads, and making Durer-like etchings to match them.
Death and the Ploughman's Wife tells the story of a kind deed rewarded and how a loving mother tricked Death into sparing her baby,
This is a new edition, not a scan of the original, and it features restored scans of the original engravings with reset text in a recreated font.
