La Ville : cent bois gravés

A singular, ambitious work by Pierre Vorms, La Ville : cent bois gravés is a wordless novel told through one hundred wood engravings, capturing the life and architecture of a city. Published in 1928 by the French artist, this single-issue comic stands as a masterwork of the woodcut tradition, offering a silent, cinematic journey through urban space that bridges fine art and sequential storytelling. Its stark, expressive imagery remains a landmark of the European graphic novel's early avant-garde.
