Ines, this is one English term we all might might spend a very long time searching for!
I’ve seen 'passe-partout' used for (fairly small) woodblocks with a (fairly small) hole for type, for example to allow a serial number in moveable type or an initial. I don’t believe I've seen the term used for a larger border, with a larger hole.
I’ve seen ‘frame’ used for a woodcut intended to surround another, and ‘border’ when a woodcut surrounds text. I don’t know if this is standard, though, and ‘frame’ in this context might imply the imitation of a physical frame.
I don’t know if there is a specific term for the woodblock(s) used to print a border, or if there needs to be. Would a descriptive approach, something like ‘woodblock for a border’ or ‘woodblock for a frame’, be appropriate?--All best
Elizabeth

Thanks, Armin,I think title-border / Titeleinfassung would be the term for a decorative border around the letterpress text of a booktitle; zie example. This would be the term used after printing, i.e. for the image as it eventually appears on paper. However, I'm looking for the name of the cut woodblock itself.Best wishes,Ad.Op 01-10-2021 15:03 schreef Armin Kunz <[log in to unmask]>:German book people usually use the term "Titeleinfassung"
In English I would use "title-border"

Subject: English term wanted
Dear All,
Could anyone help me out, please? What would be the English term for what I call a 'border decoration block'? It concerns a 16th/17th-century decoratively cut woodblock with a hole in the middle into which fits another woodblock, the whole to be printed together; see examples attached. The 16th-century French term is escarreur. Any German term would also be appreciated.
Best wishes,
Ad Stijnman.
