520			_a"A Brief History of Wood-Engraving From Its Invention" by Joseph Cundall is a historical account, likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores the evolution of wood-engraving from its origins, providing insights into its significance across various European countries, particularly during the formative years of the art in the 15th and 16th centuries. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the history of wood-engraving, beginning with early forms of the art found in religious prints, particularly images of saints. Cundall mentions the first known woodcuts and the context in which they were created, highlighting the technical aspects and the craftsmanship involved. He illustrates the types of subjects within early wood-engraving, emphasizing devotional images and their significance in monasteries and public veneration. The author also references various notable pieces, noting a colored print of the Virgin with the Holy Child as an example, and discusses the debates surrounding early wood engravings to set the stage for a more comprehensive exploration of the medium's development in subsequent chapters.
