The use of wooden printing blocks (woodcut) for the decoration of popular prints and folks prints from the Landfras printer in the first half of the 19th century
REHARDTOVÁ, Lucie
The diploma thesis - in the context of the development of book printing and the history of Landfras's printer in Jindřichův Hradec - monitors the development of woodcut and their use for the decoration of secular broadside ballad and popular prose romances (Eylenspigl, Tristan and Isolde, Hacafírek, etc.) in the 19th century, focussing on Landfras' printer. The work reflects the history and method of processing woodcut, evaluates their artistic level, the relationship of graphic content to the text and working procedures of book graphics of the time. It also focuses on the history of broadside ballad and entertaining popular prose romances, on their format, content and decoration.
