<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 429037, member: 8267"]The descriptions in the appraiser's letter do not seem to match this block. Block #1 is larger than the dimensions the OP provided, although it might be interpreted as a nativity scene in a Gothic setting (it is not a nativity scene). Block #2 does not give dimensions, but does not seem to describe this image. </p><p>If the block has been gilded (difficult to tell from the photos, but there are areas that appear oddly flat), it has been altered from its original state. The surfaces would not print properly if they have been gilded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
