It looks like a fairly contemporary artisan assemblage, using antique and ethnic beads purchased from a specialty bead shop. If you can find such...
I have seen similar bowls that are made with some sort of plastic, rather than glass. I am a little concerned about all the bubbles visible in the...
I'd say wood that has seen some hard times. What does it feel like? Is it light, or heavy?
I still think we are seeing more detail in the blocks than would show in the printing, particularly when mediated further by the stereotype...
I must say, this whole thread is a great example of how the sausage is made. :)
The second block is the story of Hagar, Abraham's concubine, who was expelled by Abraham's wife, Sarah. Hagar bore Abraham a son, Ishmael.
Page 19 of the Old Testament. The first block, as @McAdder noted, is on page 80 of the New Testament. And Luke is Lucas in German, which is why I...

I have found a copy of the book currently listed on ebay, which includes some photos of illustrations. The listing does not include our particular...
I wonder if the image on the clip-art sites is an exact reproduction of the version published in 1853, or if it is somewhat simplified for...
Me too. EUREKA! Found also on https://etc.usf.edu/clipart/187500/187565/187565_presentation-of-jesus-at-the-temple.htm Source credited to: Martin...
I AM SO INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED! I found the block's image on vectorstock.com, but they do not provide the original source. :banghead:...
Nope.
I hesitate to weigh in on this thread, but I am going to do it anyway. The posture of Gianluca's carvings seem to be trying to copy traditional...
If you called me "doll" it might cost you more than 10,000...........:punch:

To summarize: - By the wood grain visible on the back of the block, the engraving is worked on the end grain. This technique was not used until...
