Original woodcut printing block depicting a horse-drawn carriage, its driver holding a whip. 46 x 52mm. Old manuscript label to the side: "Early block / White collection". The block remains in very good condition with a little old loss to the borders. Accompanied by an impression taken from the block printed on high-quality modern paper. A charming late seventeenth- / early eighteenth-century woodcut printing block depicting a horse-drawn carriage of the period. The present block originates from the workshop of the pioneering Newcastle printer John White (1689-1769), who inherited a large collection of blocks (most likely including the present one) from his father, also John White, the York-based printer. White's collection of blocks subsequently descended through a series of Newcastle printers: Thomas Saint, Thomas Angus, George Angus, Emerson Charnley and William Dodd. The present wood-cut is reproduced in Charnley's 'Specimens of Early Wood Engraving: being impressions of woodcuts from the collection of Mr. Charnley' (Newcastle: 1858) and Dodd's subsequent 1862 edition. A large portion of White's original collection of blocks now resides at McGill University.
