 * Reason:Of historic intereest as the oldest surviving European wooblock, and for featuring an early example of a phylactery, or speech scroll, a method of depicting speech that presages the word balloon. I juxtaposed the recto of the block (both sides were engraved) with an impression from the early 20th century.
