Sinopsis

Excerpt from Picture Making: By Photography

The materials used by photographers differ only in degree from those employed by the painter and sculptor.

The illustrations, with the exception of one or two, owe their existence to photography. Without the help of the processes by which substitutes for woodcuts can be quickly and cheaply made from pen-and-ink sketches, a book of this kind could not be so effectively illustrated. They make no pretension to be refined examples, and their purpose will be served if they make more clear the words I have written.

The full-page illustrations are by Sprague' s Ink process, by which photographs from nature or drawings are translated into lithographs.

I have great pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mr. Henry Blackburn - who, in his well-known and highly appreciated Exhibition Catalogues, was one of the first to use the photo-etching processes extensively - for permission to use some of the blocks from his admirable illustrated catalogue of the National Gallery, a book that should be in the hands of every photographer who desires to improve his knowledge of art.
