It is not worked in the usual manner \vith the outlines in black i. E, raised lines on the wood-block, but a certain amount of the effect has been produced by a white line on a black ground i. E. By the cut-away lines of the wood-block. The Golden Legend^ which was the next illustrated book to appear, contains the most ambitious wood- cuts which Caxton used. Those in the earlier part are the full width of a large folio page, and show, especially in their backgrounds, a certain amount of technic...al skill. The later part of the book contains a number of small cuts of saints very coarsely exe- cuted, and the same cut is used over and over again for different saints.
