A superb large wooden printing block, probably of Australian origin - perhaps it was artwork for a poster? (the imagery suggests pantomime to us)

[Printer's Woodblock]

About this Item

The impressive printing block measures 565 mm long, between 130 and 190 mm high, and 22 mm deep. We know nothing definite about it, but suggest it could date from the late nineteenth century; we presume it to be of Australian origin (we discovered it here in Adelaide over 35 years ago, and only recently rediscovered it in storage). Any attempt at description falls far short of the wood carving itself. Seller Inventory # 97284
