The full set of woodcut graphics: a black shape, white carved lines and a slightly rough printed edge. 20 plates.
Every file is an SVG with a transparent background. Its ink follows the page's text colour, so it prints ink on light grounds and chalk on night.
The carved lines are real cut-outs: the ground shows through them, as in a print.
The swallow, seal, seeds and clusters are also in the page sprite (graphics.js) for use with <use href="#…">. See graphics.md for the rules.
First drafts, drawn in code (system/woodcuts/wc.py). Open: redraw by hand, or base on public-domain prints.
