Wood-block printing : a description of the craft of woodcutting & colourprinting based on the Japanese practice

Fletcher, F. Morley (Frank Morley), 1866-1949 · 1916 · London : J. Hogg · 8 pictures

A 1916 London handbook by F. Morley Fletcher, published by J. Hogg, teaching woodcutting and colour printing on the Japanese model to craft students and designers. The pictures are plain line drawings of hands at work: gripping a gouge, steadying a block, and a printed proof of a cut area. A designer could take clear, instructional diagrams of tool handling and block preparation as models for technical illustration.
