This is a rare look into process of the making of the Divine Comedy woodblock prints. These are also called progressive proofs. As you can see each color is laid on a progressive sheet until a finished print is produced. This was a very labor-intensive process and a special glimpse into the most intricate woodblock prints ever made.
