De Pol at His Desk
Image
In his studio in Park Ridge, New Jersey, John De Pol works on the wood engraving, "Intersection," which was completed in December, 1977. He sits at a desk which he made from a packing case in the early 1950's. It contained an order of coated paper for a brochure to be printed by L.F. White Company on West 21st street in New York, where he was employed, and where he learned the trades of printing and designing. He has accomplished all of his wood engravings, numbering over 1,200, at this desk.
