Wild Pilgrimage #[nn]

"Wild Pilgrimage" is a powerful, wordless narrative in woodcut by Lynd Ward, whose stark, expressive images capture a worker’s journey from urban despair to rural disillusionment and fleeting hope. The story follows a man drawn to the countryside only to confront violence and isolation, ultimately returning to the city to witness a clash between labor and authority that ends in tragedy. A striking example of early 20th-century graphic storytelling, this 1932 issue stands as a haunting meditation on alienation and resistance.
