For the Lubok Spezial series, a single artist is invited to focus exclusively on the linocut technique within a monographic book format.

The prints are produced directly from the original linoleum blocks, which are created specifically for the project by the artist. Lubok Spezial contains no reproductions: every page is an original print.
