The fourth edition was made in 1844 from metal plates made from plaster casts of thirty-five of Durer's original woodblocks, after they were given to the British Museum in 1839. This woodcut is from that edition. N.B. The original Durer blocks of The Small Passion are under lock and key in the British Museum and have never been used since 1844, therefore all later copies are NOT from the original blocks. All ‘woodcuts’ and ‘wood engravings’ with any indentation or plate marks are gravures or metal plate reproductions – BUT they were NOT printed from the original blocks For confirmation of this, see:Ruari Mclean’s ‘Joseph Cundall’ , published in 1976, page 14.
