For the Leonard Cohen fan in your life, master engraver George A. Walker has created a memorable book of 80 wood engravings hand printed on 100% rag archival paper commemorating the 80th birthday of the Canadian icon. Arranged chronologically, the engravings were inspired by Cohen's poems, novels and songs and include portraits of those who shared in his life, like Andy Warhol and Jimmy Hendrix. The wordless biography originated as a limited edition of 80 copies hand printed in Walker's studio in Leslieville, Toronto, in 2014.
