The viola is a string instrument that is bowed or played with varying techniques. It is slightly larger than a violin and has a lower and deeper sound. Since the 18th century, it has been the middle or alto voice of the violin family, between the violin and the cello. While the viola da gamba ( can be called a viol/gamba )is any one of a family of bowed, fretted and stringed instruments with hollow wooden bodies and pegboxes where the tension on the strings can be increased or decreased to adjust the pitch of each of the strings. Basically no, but they really do look similar to a violin.

"Printers used woodcuts to print illustrations by the relief process and experimented with intaglio in copper engravings. Woodcut pictures were produced before metal types, and it was a simple development to make woodcuts in appropriate dimensions for use with type to print illustrated books." -Another website

Early printers used woodcuts to display images by the process of relief- this was experimented by intaglio in copper shapes and strokes. Woodcut photographs were made before mineral and metal options, and it was basic development to form woodcuts correctly to be used in making book illustrations and designs.
