THE WOOD-ENGRAVINGS OF RUDOLPH RUZICKA WOOD-ENGRAVING has long been known as a favorite medium for the illustration of fine books. In recent years this popularity has received new impetus from the great degree of perfection in the use of color which the technique has sustained at the hands of Rudolph Ruzicka. The 1938 Howitzer has selected this medium for a portfolio of West Point because it seems to possess qualifications singularly appropriate both as regards color and the quality of terse veracity so characteristic of the subject. That Mr. Ruzicka is the one man most competent of executing this commission is generally conceded by all authorities. Holding the ranking position in his art, he has been awarded the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and is recognized as the leading woodcut artist of America. The Howitzer considers itself fortunate in being able to assist at the inception of this, a new chapter in the art lore of West Point, and a new addition to the greatly admired work of Rudolph Ruzicka.
