The wood engravings seem to be so difficult to execute and it truly is an art form. I have seen some very nice modern day woodblocks at local art shows and then I think of the 19th century woodcuts with the superb details and precision. I can't imagine 1 artist doing a single woodcut back them...just speculating but perhaps they had different artists commissioned for different parts of a woodcut ie one for landscape, one for people etc. I don't have a good example off the top of my head but I have seen many similarities in the trees from a few different woodcuts depicting baseball games in progress. These are all great pieces btw and that Crotty is very creative
I don't have any 19th century baseball woodblocks (and I'd be shocked if any actually exist although I guess it is remotely possible) but here's an original woodblock of Eugene Rouher (random French statesmen) along with a more modern (but still "old") Coke copper? block.
