The pleasures of memory

Uittreksel

Hyalography is closely related to the process of cliché-verre. It was first demonstrated in a book and called "hyalography" in 1853 (A.Auer, Der Polygraphische Apparat). In the present work the process is explained. It seems as if some offsetting was anticipated as the illustrations are faced by blank interleaves (though there is none). Among the artists who drew the illustrations are Samuel Palmer.

    "The large illustrations ... are produced by a new method, without the aid of an engraver; and some little indulgence is asked for them, on the plea of the inexperience of the artists in this process. The drawing is made with an etching-needle or any suitable point, upon a glass plate spread with collodium. It is then photographed upon a prepared surface of wax, and from this surface an electrotype is formed in relief, which is printed with the type."
