The book provides insight into the art of wood-engraving, tracing its origins and developments throughout history, reflecting on its significance in terms of culture and civilization. It serves as a comprehensive exploration for those interested in artistic techniques, artistic history, and the evolution of printing.  The beginning of the text discusses the obscured origins of wood-engraving in Europe, illustrating its early practices and the potential influence of goldsmiths skilled in engraving. Woodberry outlines the challenges in pinpointing the initial inventor of the art, mentioning the place of wood-engraving within a broader context of artistic and cultural expression. Additionally, he references early prints, including the role of woodcuts in religious instruction, emphasizing their importance as a form of visual literacy in a time when access to books was limited.
