It is not worked in the usual manner \vith the outlines in black i. E, raised lines on the wood-block, but a certain amount of the effect has been produced by a white line on a black ground i. E. By the cut-away lines of the wood-block.
The Golden Legend^ which was the next illustrated book to appear, contains the most ambitious wood- cuts which Caxton used. Those in the earlier part are the full width of a large folio page, and show, especially in their backgrounds, a certain amount of technic

It is entirely P 226 Early Illustrated Books un-French in style and execution, and was probably cut to print on the Missal printed by Maynyal for Caxton, in order that the publisher might be brought prominently into notice.
