Re: Text in Copperplate - or woodcut



Another example is Elizabeth Blackwell's "A Curious Herbal" of 1737-1739.

A more curious practice is printing engravings and letterpress on the same 
page as I encountered with Pierre Pomet's "Histoire Generale des Drogues"   
of  1694, where I actually found vairant illustrations between copies 
compared.
