Jenkins H. A Manual of Photo-Engraving

The Inland Printer Company, 1896. — 200 p.IN preparing- this work, it has been my aim to present such information that a person inexperienced in photographic operations might be enabled to obtain from it an intelligent conception of the methods used for making line and half-tone engravings.If therefore details have been entered into which may to some seem superfluous, it should be remembered that what may appear self-evident to the expert may often be perplexing to the novice unless clearly explained.While entering thus into detail regarding the processes treated of, I have avoided the discussion of obsolete and untried methods, and have endeavored to make the descriptions as brief as possible without sacrificing clearness. The methods described are those used in the regular engraving establishments, and I believe that with careful study and properly directed effort, the beginner will obtain satisfactory results.
