woodcut

For musical examples 1, 2, and 4, Anshelm uses the same woodblocks as in vdm 588 (Anshelm, 1508), but they are inked more heavily, at least in the GB-Lbl copy, which gives them a different appearance. The woodblock looks worn by this time. Musical example 3 is newly cut, but in a very similar style.
