About this book
Wood-Block Printing, by F. Morley Fletcher, is a description of the craft of woodcutting and colour printing based on the Japanese practice. The text says the main principles of the art, indeed, were well known in the West long before colour prints were produced in Japan. Major Strange is quoted as saying that the European art of chiaroscuro engraving is in all essentials identical with that of Japanese colour-printing.
A little powdered alum is also stirred in, about as much as will lie on a shilling to a pint of water, and the text says the addition of the alum is important, as it acts as a mordant and helps to make a better colour impression. The text says that in applying the size to the paper a four-inch broad flat paste brush is used, and that care must be taken not to make creases in the paper, as these become permanent.
