The masters of wood-engraving
A history of wood-engraving by W. J. Linton, published in 1889 in New Haven and London, aimed at collectors and students of printmaking. Each plate is a single reproduction of an early woodcut or engraving, printed on a cream page with a small caption beneath. The pictures show religious scenes, ornamental printer's marks with heraldic shields, and formal group portraits, giving a designer a clear record of Renaissance borders, cartouches and framing devices.
