Shaftesbury, Woodcuts, James Masters and John R Biggs
From Dorset Life
John R Biggs
High House Press
"In 1932 Masters brought out a book on Shaftesbury itself which included nine engravings by John R. Biggs, and five by Masters; this was entitled “Shaftesbury: The Shaston of Thomas Hardy”; and recorded ‘picturesque spots and corners’ in an attempt to capture the flavour of the town at that period in time. Both Biggs and Masters signed this book too. An article in Dorset Life (2008) discusses the production of “Shaftesbury” and looks at High House Press in general".
