The first (Virgin and Child) is a woodcut that is cut with a knife on the long grain of the wood instead of with a graver on the end grain. It was cut for a poster. No. 5 is added in ink next to the bracketed Virgin and Child on the title page. This book was prepared and published entirely without Gill's knowledge and consent. [Gill: 410].
