Linoleum-Cuts by William Jacobs 1938

This is a portfolio of linoleum cuts by American artist William Jacobs, printed in 1938 and published by the esteemed art publisher, A.M. Stein. The portfolio, titled "Linoleum-Cuts," showcases the artist's signature style through a series of black and white prints. While the specific content of the cuts is not evident from the cover alone, the image presents a stylized depiction of three individuals standing against the backdrop of buildings, hinting at the potential exploration of urban life or social commentary. The stark contrast of black and white further emphasizes the expressive lines and simplified forms characteristic of the linocut technique.
