Re: Broad Oak Print Block
Haworth gallery have some wood print blocks from broad oak, once they'd got the hang of engraving, and printing using copper rollers, most of the wood blocks were dumped or burnt.
Steiner's used copper rollers for printing, when I was at Langs as a happyprentice we made patterns for an 18 ? (not sure now its 70 years ago) colour printer, it were a hell of a size, took both furnaces going full chat just to cast one side. Each roller only had part of the design on it, so it took a lot of setting up for a print run.
