Accession Number: hh.4748.18.88

Woodblock printing is a technique used for printing text, images and patterns. The block is prepared by the areas to show 'white' are cut away with a knife, chisel, or sandpaper leaving the characters or image to show in 'black' at the original surface level. The content would of course print "in reverse" or mirror-image, a further complication when text was involved. For colour printing, multiple blocks are used, each for one colour, although overprinting two colours may produce further colours on the print. Multiple colours can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks.

Used at Holmes McDougall, Edinburgh. Holmes McDougall were educational publishers based at 137 - 141 Leith Walk, Edinburgh.
