Photo-engraving, photo-etching, and photo-lithography : in line and half-tone ; also, collotype and heliotype

" ... one of the standards in the field of photomechanical printing ... [which] went through a number of editions, with varying plates. The present one is of interest because of the two color prints that are present. The first is a three-color half-tone by Dr. R.D. Grey [sic], of New York, who was an antagonist of Frederick Ives because of his contention that he, Grey [sic], was involved in three-color photography before Ives. This very fine outdoor photograph shows that he had mastered a very difficult medium at a very early date. The other image is of a fan produced in three-color collotype by Ernest Edwards. This image is not as accurate as the scene in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden from 1894, but is still an important early example."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 124.
