Synopsis

Excerpt from Photo-Mechanical Processes: A Practical Guide to the Production of Letterpress Blocks in Line and in Tone, Photo-Lithography in Line and Tone, Collotype, and Photogravure

BY re-writing Part III. And the addition of Part VI. And an Appendix, I have endeavoured to bring this, the Standard Handbook of photo-mechanical Processes, up-to-date. Whilst the Appendix was passing through the press, Mr. W. Gamble (of Penrose Co.) published an article, which is practically the same as. The one in the Appendix. This_is a coincidence which is worth recording, although precedence must be given to Mr. Gamble. The paragraph on Poster Blocks was partly written at the end of July, but was not sent to the printers, because I wanted to make certain experiments in the method before doing so 5 and, these experiments proving satisfactory, the remainder was written on the 12th August, Mr. Gamble's article in Process War/a reaching me On the 16th.

For the rest, nothing has been written that has not been thoroughly tested, so that this book can be classed as thoroughly practical from beginning to end.

There is on the market a book bearing my name, and dated 1894. This date is wrong, the book being merely a reprint of the one written in 1890.
