I am looking for images of wood prints from historically significant moments during the Tudor era for an art project. I’ve searched online using Google as best as I can but haven’t had any luck. Maybe I’m just not using the right keywords? What would be ideal is a website that has a large variety of wood prints or a website that has information from pamphlets or newspapers of the era. I’m most specifically interested in the Elizabethan era though would also be interested in prints from Henry, Edward, and Mary’s rules as well.
Yes, you’re probably using the wrong term. Try looking for woodcuts.

There are lots of images from ballads at the English Broadside Ballad Archive, and many of them are historically related. If you’ve got specific historical events in mind, try searching for related keywords in the archive (like “Elizabeth” or “Armada”).
