Woodcuts of the XV Century in the Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum.
First edition, scarce, of Dodgson’s authoritative and thoroughly illustrated catalogue of fifteenth-century woodcuts in the British Museum. Published after two decades as Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, the monumental Woodcuts of the XV Century is considerably scarcer than Dodgson’s earlier Early German and Flemish Woodcuts.
