a satirical magazine

H. Glintenkamp’s, A Wanderer In Woodcuts, with 126 reproduced woodcuts is not a wordless novel as each image has a lengthy written description on the opposing page. In addition there is no story arc except to the extent it can be argued it documents the path of Glintenkamp’s trip.
