FRANK FRENCH DIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Internationally Famous Wood Engraver was 83, Manchester New Hmpshire, February 20,
FRANK FRENCH, Internationally famous artist, Author, Illustrator of art, and Dean of American Wood Engravers, died late last night at his Reed's Ferry, New Hampshire Home, after a brief sickness. He was born at Loudon New Hmpshire in 1850. At age 22, Mr. French was engaged on the Staff of the American Tract Society as an engraver and soon became the recogized Master of his craft.
He turned, later to the art and prepared articles with illustrations which were used in many nationally known Magazines. His Survivors are his wife: a daughter, Mable Edna French, and a son Frank A. French of Los Angeles California.

In 1887 the society published a book of members' engravings in which all but one (out of twenty-five) were based on paintings rather than drawings. FRANK FRENCH'S contribution to the volume, engraved after a Frank D. Millet painting called Lacing the Sandal, has little of the photographic quality of the new-school work from a decade earlier and shows a much more careful composition of lines than in, say, Cole's Head of Christ, but it is not a return to white-line engraving (fig. 9). And the reproductive logic of the new school is clear (and reiterated) in the accompanying text. "Everything of Mr. Millet is here except the actual pigment," wrote William Laffan. "Fidelity is uppermost in the engraver's mind . . . To reproduce as faithfully as possible the thing to which he has addressed himself is his only thought." Connoisseurs took great interest in wood engravings such as this one, especially as signed proofs printed on "Japan" paper. (By the early 1890s the Century Magazine was sending proof sheets to Cole for him to sign and return to help defray the expense of his being abroad.) In June of 1890 a writer for the Century, in an article entitled "The Outlook for Wood-Engraving," noted the growing interest in American wood engraving as a fine art and urged museums to "begin the systematic collection of a fuller historical exhibit of hand-proofs," insisting that "posterity should not be left to gather up in meager or incomplete examples the record of so marked an achievement."
