PREFATORY NOTE HISTORICAL NOTE THE DRAWING CUTTING THE BLOCK PRINTING PAPER BOOKS OF REFERENCE
PREFATORY NOTE
This pamphlet has been prepared by Mr. Edward F. Strange, of the Department of Engraving, Illustration and Design, for use primarily in connection with a collection of Tools, Materials and Examples, specially brought together and now exhibited in the Museum, to illustrate the technique of Japanese Colour-printing from wood-blocks. The descriptive matter has been somewhat amplified, in order to render it of value to those who cannot immediately refer to the Museum collections.
The works of reference consulted, are named herein; and acknowledgment must also be made to Mr. Hogitaro Inada, for translations from the Japanese, kindly supplied by him.
CECIL SMITH. Victoria and Albert Museum, 1913.
HISTORICAL NOTE
THE DRAWING
It is evident that this process resulted in the destruction of the designs. The Museum, however, has acquired a number of unused drawings, which fully illustrate this stage; and the series of blocks exhibited have, in several instances, remains of the paper still adhering to the uncut portions of their surfaces.
CUTTING THE BLOCK
The engraving was invariably done by a second person and not by the designer.
DIAGRAM:--Method of cutting a log into blocks.
