Catalogue of early German and Flemish woodcuts preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum
A 1903 scholarly catalogue issued by the British Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings, compiled by Campbell Dodgson, listing early German and Flemish woodcuts in its collection for collectors and scholars. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts: framed saints set within ornate Renaissance-style borders with architectural columns and scrollwork, plus narrative scenes of townspeople, buildings and figures in a landscape. A designer could take from them the strong black-line carving, decorative frame ornament, and compact figure groupings of northern Renaissance print design.
