Leaves from the Sketch Books of Frank Brangwyn cut by Urushibara was a Portfolio with 20 woodblock prints, a 4-page leaflet with an introduction by Lawrence Binyon, published in Leigh-on-sea by F. Lewis in 1940. It was published in an edition of 50. Urushibara made a selection from Brangwyn’s sketchbooks and turned them into woodblock prints - an tour de force in so far as he managed  to keep the sketches alive in the woodblock medium.
