Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Wood-Engraving N this book I have attempted to gather and arrange such facts as should be known to men of cultivation interested in the art of engraving in wood. I have, therefore, disregard ed such matter as seems to belong rather to descriptive bib liography, and have treated wood-engraving, in its principal works, as a re ection of the life of men and an illustration of successive phases of civilization. Where there is much disputed ground, particularly in the early history of the art, the Writers on whom I have relied are referred to, and those who adopt a different view are named; but where the facts seemed plain, and are easily verifiable, reference did not ap pear necessary.

Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Brief History of Wood-engraving from Its Invention: Look inside the book: The first undoubted fact that we can arrive at in the history of wood-engraving is that early in the fifteenth century there were to be found, in many of the monasteries and convents in various parts of Europe, prints of the Virgin with the Holy Infant, the most popular Saints, and Subjects from the Bible, which were certainly taken from engravings on wood; and we have now to describe some typical examples of primitive devotional pictures, printed by the xylographic process. ...The cut measures 111/2 inches in height by 81/2 inches in width, and is coloured after the manner of the time; that is, the Saint's robe is tinted with red and the lining with yellow ochre, the nimbuses are of the same kind of yellow; the robes of Christ and the monk are light blue, of the same tint as the water; the grass and foliage are bright green; the faces, hands, and legs are in a pale flesh-tint; there are but five or six colours used, and they may have been either washed in by hand or brushed in through a stencil-plate. ...These facts have confirmed me in my opinion that the next step of the {10}engraver on wood, after playing-cards, was to engrave figures of Saints, which, being distributed and lost among the laity, were in part preserved by the monks, who pasted them into the earliest printed books with which their libraries were furnished.&a

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Origin and Early History of Engraving, Upon Copper and in Wood, Vol. 1: With an Account of Engravers and Their Works, From the Invention of Chalcography by Maso Finiguerra, to the Time of Marc' Antonio Raimondi It happened that that part of the present Inquiry which treats of early wood-engraving, was finished before Mr. Singer's work was far advanced and at his request, a copy of the book, so far printed, was sent to him for his inspection I have thought it necessary to notice this circumstance, in order to account for the mention of this work in several passages of Mr. Singer's book, which, having been finally completed before my own, has now been many weeks in the hands of the public. Mr. Singer, I find, differs with me in opinion upon several points; but I think, upon the whole, we are less frequently at variance as to facts than consequences. There are two or three passages of his work, only, to which I think it necessary to offer a few words in reply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Wood Engravings: Historical and Practical Tuouon several English authors have, in modern times, written on the origin and early history of wood engraving, yet no one has hitherto given, in a distinct work, a connected account of its progress from the earliest period to the present time; and no one, however confidently he may have expressed his opinion on the subject, appears to have thought it necessary to make him self acquainted with the practice of the art. The antiquity and early history of wood engraving appear to have been considered as themes which allowed of great scope for speculation, and required no practical knowledge of the art. It is from this cause that we find so many erroneous statements in almost every modern dissertation on wood engraving. Had the writers ever thought of appealing to a person practically acquainted with the art, whose early productions they professed to give some account of, their conjectures might, in many instances, have been spared; and had they, in matters requiring research, taken the pains to ex amine and judge for themselves, instead of adopting the opinions of others, they would have discovered that a considerable por tion of what they thus took on trust, was not in accordance with facts. As the antiquity and early history of wood engraving form a considerable portion of two expensive works which profess to give some account of the art, it has been thought that such a work as the present, combining the history with the practice of the art, and with numerous cuts illustrative of its progress, decline, and revival, might not be unfavourably received.

Book excerpt: A History of Wood-Engraving George Edward Woodberry A History of Wood-Engraving By George Edward Woodberry Woodberry was born in Beverly, Massachusetts, on May 12, 1855. The Woodberrys or Woodburys-various spellings of the name exist-immigrated early and, since settlement took root on the North Shore, have been native to Beverly and neighboring seaport towns. Receiving his preparation at the Phillips Exeter Academy, he entered Harvard College in 1872. Owing, however, to ill health, he was unable to continue with his class. He re-entered in 1875 and was graduated in 1877. Another distinguished member was the then Governor of Massachusetts. Woodberry took highest final honors in philosophy, and was awarded an Oration at Commencement. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Concerning the Invention of Printing: In Which the Systems of Meerman, Heinecken, Santander, and Koning Are Reviewed; Including Also Notices of the Early Use of Wood-Engraving in Europe, the Block-Books, Etc N ow, would it not have been strange, in a country where fair play is a national motto, if not a single writer had raised his voice in favour of Haerlem and Coster, although every body might be a partisan of Gutenberg and Mentz? Audi alteram partem! Is a most necessary step in the sincere investi gation of truth. It would have been a great scandal if no English bibliographer had taken the trouble of expounding, more fully than had been done hitherto, the facts on which the claims of the citizen of Haerlem to the invention of printing in moveable types are grounded. This task, accepted by Mr. Ottley, has been performed, as the reader will see, with an amount of skill, taste, and conscientious labour which has not been equalled by foreign writers, even directly interested in the glory of the true inventor. The Inquiry concerning the Origin of Printing has the advantage over most of the analogous productions, of being illustrated by numerous engravings, in which are lying before the very eyes of the reader the proof of what is advanced in the book itself, and the means of judging immediately the merit or unworthiness of the argument put forward by the author.
