History
John DePol is considered one of the greatest wood engravers of the last 100 years. Born in New York in 1915, he began in 1947 an illustrious career as a wood engraver for some of the finest private presses in the United States, including Hammer Creek Press, Pickering Press, Red Ozier Press, Stone House Press, and Yellow Barn Press. An academician of the National Academy of Design, DePol's work can be found in the collections of museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in libraries such as The New York Public Library (Rare Books) and the Library of Congress, as well as numerous North American universities.
