Unwin Brothers (Firm), Wycliffe, John, d. 1384, Boosey, firm, booksellers, London. Collection of thirty-eight old wood cuts · 1885 · New York: A. C. Armstrong & son · 179 pictures

A Victorian revival of a block-book Gospel picture bible, printed by Unwin Brothers and issued in New York by A. C. Armstrong & Son in 1885, pairing thirty-eight old woodcuts of Christ's life and parables with Wycliffite text for collectors of early printing. Alongside the narrative cuts run black-ground headbands, strips and borders: winged putti flanking urns, grotesque hybrids in scrolling foliage, lions, and figures among stylised trees.
