ORIGIN OF WOOD ENGRAVING.
Many Countries Contend for the Hon
or ~ tho lpuAn+ion

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 1928, St. Sc
bastion in 1437 and a Madonna has
been dated 141S. 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 lev &c American
1t is allowable for ance 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 a cru
cifiXion has been discovered in a 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.

And are the fitting embems

The mansion, grand and great;
