Prelude to a Million Years: A Book of Wood Engravings is a 1933 wordless novel consisting of thirty wood engravings by American artist Lynd Ward (1905–1985). It was the fourth of Ward's six wordless novels, a genre Ward discovered while studying wood engraving in Europe, and delved into under the influence of the works of Frans Masereel and Otto Nückel. The symbol-rich story tells of a sculptor who, in his quest for ideal beauty, neglects the reality of the struggles of his neighbors in the depths of the Great Depression. The engravings are done in a softer Art Deco style in contrast to the German Expressionism-influenced artwork of Ward's earlier works.

  • 《百萬年序幕:木刻版畫本》(英語:Prelude to a Million Years: A Book of Wood Engravings)是一部由美國藝術家(1905-1985年)於1933年創作的无字小说,當中包含30幅。該作品是沃德創作的六部無字小說中的第四部作品,以一種沃德於歐洲學習期間發現,並受法朗士·麦绥莱勒和的作品影響下鑽研的風格創作。這個象徵豐富的故事講述一個追求理想之美的雕塑家,但這個雕塑家忽視其鄰居在大萧条深處掙扎的現實。與沃德早期受德国表现主义影響的藝術作品相比,該作品中的版畫採用了較柔和的裝飾藝術風格。 (zh)
