Wood Block Took
Art To The Poor
Starting with Initial Letter in
China, Reached Europe
in 18th Century
Grew Into Engraving

The wood block was first used in
China. Not till the sixth or seventh
century did it find it's way to Japan.
And there, as in China, it was used
only for initial letter stamps. These
were elaborate things, and were used
by the scribes.
From Japan the wood block passed
into Germany some time in the elev-
enth century. Later, it crossed the
Alps, blazing a trail into Italy.
But in the vicinity of Nuremburg,
some three hundred years after this,
the initial letter was relegated to an
insignificant place in the life of the
wood block, by means of which the
first pictured art found it's way into
the homes of the poor.
Between Nuremburg and Italy the
artists passed, back and forth, work
ing for the different presses" sink
ing their personalities in the growth
of the new art for their home folks.
These "presses" were crude affairs,
but, such as they were, they were
thought out to make better prints
straightway following the wood block
picture. Even so, rubbing was still
the only means Of getting an imprint.
This was long before type. The titles
were cut on the block picture-the
lower portion usually-and only one
side of the page was printed. "Block
books" were made of these prints,
largely for use in monasteries, for
practically all the art of that time
was, in character, religious.
The new art was very new, as yet,
when a church ablaze destroyed a
painting. 1t was a masterpiece and
its loss was mourned. Accidents like
this had happened before; they were
regrettable. In this instance, how
ever, a copy had been faithfully en-

Number, Please

The telephone girl sits in her chair,
And listens to voices from everywhere,
She hears all the gossip, she hears all
the news,
She knows who is happy and who has
the blues.
She knows every girl who is chasing
the boys,
She knows the excuses each fellow
employs,
She knows all our troubles, she knows
all our strife,
She knows every man who is mean
to his wife;
She knows every one who has a dark
past,
She knows every man who's inclined
to be fast.
In fact, there's secret meath each
pretty curl,
Of that quiet, demure-looking tele-
phone girl. -
If the telephone girl should tell what
Sne KNOWS,
She'd turn half our friends into bit
terest foes;
She'd start a small wind that would
soon be a gale,
And engulf us in trouble, and land US
in Jail.
She could let go a story, which, gain
ing in force,
Would cause half our wives to sue
for divorce.
She would get all the churches mixed
up in fight
And turn our glad days into sorrowful
night.
In fact, she would keep the whole
world in a stew,
If she told just tenth of all that she
| knew.
Now doesn't it set your head in &
| whirl,
When you think what you owe to the
telephone girl?

great conception was not lost! 1t
would live in the engraving!
All eyes were centered now on this

the knife and block. But, sad to tell,
the knife and block remains to US of
merit from this course.
Would surprises never cease? Fin
iguerro, master goldsmith, has car
we'd in low relief an elaborate COM
position. It was his greatest work.
He knew it. He was handling it low
ingly before it's delivery to the pur-
chaser; he was cleaning it. Pressing
the cloth down hard to further dry
the liquid he had used, he noticed on
lifting it that the imprint of his cary
ing was on the cloth. He was not
slow to take advantage of his discov-
cry.
Again the little world was stirred.
| Straightway Pollaiuolo, also a gold
smith, engraved on copper "The Bat
tie of the Naked Men," This was his
only known engraving, but it will last
as long as our most enduring monu-
ments of the art. But this is only a
by-path in the trail of the wood block.
Wood engraving had not reached the
stage of fine art at the time of Fini-
guerro's discovery of engraving on
metal (about the middle of the fifteen
tn century,.
The trail of the wood block now
leads US into Mexico, where it is simi,
