1998. 11" x 8 3/8", 223 pages, 177
illustrations in black and white and colour. Published to coincide with the major exhibition at the Victoria and
Albert Museum. The work of the greatest of decorative woodcarvers is
seen from a new perspective, through the eyes of a fellow carver. David Esterly’s ground-breaking approach allows us to
understand the process by which Gibbons’ exuberant carvings were created,

his tools, workshop practice, materials and finishing are dealt with in detail.
