Description
In Six Decades of Prints by Fritz Eichenberg, Gene Baro wrote about Eichenberg's illustrations for Russian author Ivan Turgenev's novel, Fathers and Sons (first published in 1862):
"For this special project sixteen wood engravings were printed directly from the blocks on special Japanese vellum. The designer was the renowned Joseph Blumenthal, and the original Heritage Press edition was printed by A. Colish."
