The woodcuts were magazine pictures. However, unlike in the 1900s and today with reprint technologies, the prints were made directly from hand carved blocks blocks of wood (thus the name woodcuts) and thus are original works of art-- as original as a Rembrant or Picasso in a museum. They also have great graphics, and are great for framing and display. You can find them from as early as the 1850s.
