ATREATISE on WOOD ENGRAVING,
HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL. With upwards
of Three Hundred Illustrations engraved on Wood.
By JOHN JACKSON.
__ _ _
. .

This Work, which'contains upwards of Three Hundred Wood
Engravings, many of which are elaborate fac-similes of some of
the most scarce and beautiful works in that branch of art, has
occupied the attention of Mr. Jackson (a pupil of Bewick), as
an engraver, for many years. It was Mr. Jackson's original
intention that the literary portion of the work should have con-
tained only a slight Sketch of the History, with some details of
the Practice, of the Art. The historical portion of the Work
has, however, been greatly extended, Mr. Jackson having been
fortunate in procuring - the literary:assistance of Mr. W. A.
Chatto. The following is a brief analysis of the volume :
In the first chapter an attempt is made to trace the principle
of Wood Engraving from the earliest auhentic period. The
second chapter contains an account of the progress of the art as
exemplified in the earliest known single cuts, and in the block-
books which preceded the invention of typography. As print-
ing from moveable types was unquestionably suggested by the
earliest block-books, the third chapter is devoted to an exami-
nation of the claims of Gutemberg and Coster to the honour of
this invention. The fourth chapter contains an account of
Wood Engraving in connection with the press, from the estab-
lishment of typography to the latter end of the fifteenth century.
The fifth chapter comprehends the period in which Albert
Durer flourished,—that is, from 1498 to 1528. The sixth
contains a notice of the principal Wood-cuts designed by Hol-
bein, with an account of the extension and improvement of the
art in the sixteenth century, and of its subsequent decline. In
the seventh chapter the history of the art is brought down from
the commencement of the eighteenth century to the present
time. The eighth chapter contains an account of the practic3
of the art, with remarks on Metallic Relief Engraving, and the
best mode of printing Wood-cuts. As no detailed account of
the practice of Wood Engraving has hitherto been published in
England, it is presumed that the information afforded by this
part of the Work will not only be interesting to amateurs of the
art, but useful to those who are professionally connected with it.
