Speculum Humanae Salvationis

Source, Library of Congress:https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/world/images/wt0028.1s.jpg

The Speculum humane salvationis contains illustrations of related scenes from the Old and New Testament. All the woodcut illustrations are in Dutch style. Approximately twenty pages of the text were printed from blocks; the remainder were set in movable type. The difference immediately strikes the eye, because the texts produced by woodblock are the traditional sepia and those printed from movable type are black. This traditional block book was printed using only one side of the paper.
