Later, two removable circular shapes were made within the matrix to allow for interrupting continuous line of drawing by turning them slightly before inking.
Multicolour prints were made, using transparant colours.

Yes, LOLLY WILLOWES (or The Loving Huntsman) is the title of a novel by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It recounts the adventures of a 'middle-aged spinster' who becomes a witch. (1926 Viking) A black cat belonging to a friend of mine was named Lolly Willowes because she liked this title, and the book as well.
