About This Book

A combined historical survey and practical manual that traces the development of wood engraving, presenting chronological chapters on surviving blocks, stylistic schools, and notable practitioners alongside detailed explanations of tools, materials, cutting and printing techniques. The text interleaves critical commentary on individual engravings with practical guidance for working engravers, discusses technical improvements and processes for reproducing images, and assembles numerous wood-engraved illustrations, plates, a list of illustrations and an index to aid reference, closing with an additional chapter addressing more recent artists and extra examples.

Errors and Inconsistencies (noted by transcriber)

Inconsistent spellings were only regularized when there was a strong preponderance; changes are individually noted. The various spellings of the name now written “Shakespeare” are unchanged, as are the forms “Albert Durer” and “Gutemberg”. German citations consistently omit the period (full stop) in references such as “2 Theil”. Other unchanged forms include:

cross line : cross-line
figuersnider : figursnider
fore-/back-ground : fore/background
type-founder : typefounder
wood-cut : woodcut
wood-engraver : wood engraver
Schaufflein : Schäufflein

In the Index, missing or inconsistent punctuation was silently regularized. All other errors are noted in two ways: with mouse-hover popups where the error occurs, and again at the end of each chapter or section, after any footnotes.
