Wood blocks were the earliest form of printing when the Chinese carved their letters into wood around 300 AD. Europe was a little bit behind in establishing printing and illustration as opposed to manuscripts carefully scribed by monks.
I’d forgotten just how hard carving into a wooden block is….it’s hard believe me. The block will. however, last forever just about, you could easily print off Rembrandt’s wood-blocks now.
The third pic is the block being carved, the fourth pic is the block inked up.
This painted sketch was completed back in 1998 or so but has proved popular with folk from Ceres as a print on A4 water-colour printing paper at £7.
