Excerpt from Portfolio of Dermochromes, Vol. 1

The process employed in the production of the illustrations in the following work is that known as Citochromy, and is the invention of Dr. Albert of Munich. The reproduction of colours by this process is believed to be more perfect than by any other hitherto in use, and is obtained almost entirely by mechanical means apart from manual work.

The great majority of the illustrations are taken from models in the Breslau Clinic, executed by Herr Kroner, and are reproduced by kind permission of Professor Neisser, to whom the inception of the work is mainly due, and to whom it is dedicated by his former pupil and assistant, Professor Jacobi.

Thanks are also due to Professors Lesser and C. Lassar of Berlin, Dr. Bayet of Brussels, and Dr. Henning of Vienna, for permission to make use of models in their possession.

Acknowledgment must also be made of the services rendered by the gentlemen who executed the various models utilized - viz., Herr Kroner of Breslau, Herr Kolbow and Herr Kasten of Berlin, Mons. Baretta and Mons. Tramond of Paris. A few of the models have also been made by Professor Jacobi himself after the method devised by Mr. Cathcart of Edinburgh.
