ORIGIN OF WOOD ENGRAVING.
Many Countries Contend for the Hon
or of the Invention.

Much controversy was at one time
excited about the country that could
claim to have originated wood engrav-
ing. A very simple process was
known to the Egyptians for the pro-
duction of stamps, and it has been as
serted that the Chinese printed from
blocks of peartree as early as the
tenth century. The independent orig
ination of the art has been generally
credited to Germany among modern.
nations. In the Cologne district st.
Christopher, which has often been re-
produced, was cut in 1923, a ST. Sc
bastion in 1437 and a Madonna has
been dated 1913. Playing cards were,
however, in use in France in the mid
die of the fourteenth century, and the
figures were impressions from wood
blocks, states the Scientific American.
It is allowable for France to dispute
the priority of Germany, and many at
tempts have been made to claim the
art as due to French enterprise. M,
Henri Bouchot of the Bibliotheque Ma
| tionale, now declares that part of a
| block with representation Of cru
| cifixion has been discovered in coun-
! try town of France. The costumes
| are evidently those worn in the mid
die fourteenth century, and it is as
| sumed that the wood block belongs to
some time between 1910 and 1850.
