I've always liked woodcuts but I think the idea of cutting up the full page woodcuts to make smaller woodcuts is aweful. I can almost understand removing them from a publication but to me I feel the value of the woodcut would be in the native form from which it was found. It would be interesting to read the articles from that period in time. IMHO, encapsulating them for some reason or other just seems silly to me. Perhaps that makes me some kind of hypocrite because I see nothing wrong with cards being encapsulated. Please, by all means continue posting the full page woodcuts, those are just so cool.
