So I say a woodcut is a print. Martha?

Glad you noticed. :-) Martha Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681751924771756798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449697140204377101.post-76025895727327273602014-06-18T23:12:29.765-04:002014-06-18T23:12:29.765-04:00Martha will be happy to read that.
