a broad one. The hatching is regular and mechanical.

From the Bagford collection (Herl. MS. 5963). Transferred from the Dept. of
MSS. 1814. It is not certain that this cut is derived from a book, but its shape and
whole appearance make this probable, besides the fact that it was in the Bagford
collection, which consisted almost exclusively of fragments from mutilated boobs.
APPENDIX TO DIYISION D.
(a) Books of the XY Century.
Since in Division D only those illustrations from xv century books
have been described which are mounted as separate cuts, I conclude by
mentioning briefly the books containing woodcuts, or series of cuts
bound in book form, of this period, which are in the Dept. These will be
described in greater detail in the general inventory of books in the Dept.
containing woodcuts of the German, Dutch and Flemish Schools, which
will form the concluding section of this catalogue.
