You see eight old woodcuts on two pages. They show Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses—basic Bible scenes. The artist carved the lines deep into wood, then printed them in black ink. But here’s the trick: the prints weren’t meant to hang alone. They came from a big set of forty, chopped up later. The order got mixed up when they cut the sheets apart. Try printing one yourself at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
