BERNHARD WENIG
Bernhard Wenig is a comparatively newcomer in the field of book-plate design, but he has already established for himself an enviable reputation in Germany, and his work is meeting with a growing appreciation by collectors in this country. Mr. Wenig’s general manner is that of the old engraved wood block, bold and more or less crude of line, but full of virility. Most of his work is reproduced in black on white, but in a few instances he has used a color or two with good effect. His choice of subjects is varied, but the studious bookman of the middle ages seems to be uppermost in his heart and mind. Mr. Wenig has made one plate for a child, a small boy, that is among the best half-dozen of designs for children.
