I'm curious - on prints with a lot of lettering, such as the 1482 "Ages of Man" one shown, were the letters added using moveable type, or were they really all carved as part of the woodcut? It seems an awful lot of tiny letters to carve, especially in relief! Does anyone know? Wombat140 (talk) 20:39, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See blockbook, or indeed Woodblock printing. But by that date they were indeed moveable type, I'd imagine. That worked very easily with woodcut, & they could be mixed in the same frame if needed. Johnbod (talk) 22:25, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
