About this work

A man in a cap and dark apron leans over a block of wood, working on it with a tool, beside the large letter X and the word Xylographer in bold lettering. The flat, two-tone poster style uses black, tan and cream areas with hatched shading. This is the X plate from William Nicholson's 1899 alphabet, a print in the Wikimedia Commons record.
