Featured Charles Surendorf, this is a woodblock, right?

    I picked this up at my favorite thrift yesterday. Charles Frederick Surendorf 1906-1979.
    My research leads me to think this is a Woodblock and not a later Linoleum engraving
    The measurements are correct 13 3/4 x 5 3/4 approx.
    Also the linoleum engravings are all numbered.
    I think the frame is newer and was probably done to sell at the Looking glass gallery.
    Any and all thoughts are helpful and welcomed.

    Hmmm. Now I'm confused. They could be wrong?

    That looks like a lino cut to me.... is there something that makes you think wood block?

    Only that the other ones I found described as linocut were numbered.

    It just has the 'feel' of a linoleum block print. I do them myself, and the cuts, the solidity of the ink, and the lack of wood grain texture all seem, to me, to be a Lino-cut. I could be wrong, of course.

    It's a very pleasant image.
