<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McAdder, post: 429694, member: 7942&quot;]I hope the owner brings the woodcuts to an expert who can physically examine them and give an opinion and justify his/her findings with literature and comparable pieces. Would be really interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also love to know what the gilding is about, somewhere in the back of my head i think that I have seen a gilded woodblock before but i cant remember where and if there was an explanation. I have looked at many woodblocks here <a href="http://sammlungenonline.albertina.at/default.aspx?lng=english2&amp;query=Freitext=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://sammlungenonline.albertina.at/default.aspx?lng=english2&amp;query=Freitext=" rel="nofollow">http://sammlungenonline.albertina.at/default.aspx?lng=english2&amp;query=Freitext=</a>&quot;Holzstock&quot;&amp;showtype=record and <a href="http://www.memofonte.it/studi-di-memofonte/numero-17-2016/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.memofonte.it/studi-di-memofonte/numero-17-2016/" rel="nofollow">http://www.memofonte.it/studi-di-memofonte/numero-17-2016/</a> p 176 ff but have not found gilded ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they were gilded after use, i don&#039;t know if they would use printing dye, wouldn&#039;t a golden relief be more decorative?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
