Endpaper with Saints

About this work

This is a sheet of paper covered in small, carved pictures. Each square shows a figure with a glowing halo, often holding objects like books or crosses. The gold ink makes the images stand out against the yellow-green paper, giving it a warm, slightly faded look. The figures look like saints—some are standing, some kneeling, all with serious expressions. The borders around each picture are simple but neat, framing them like little windows. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
