Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
I acquired many years ago, probably from a fair or garage sale, a copy of the seventh edition of 'The Dictionary Of Photography', by E. J. Wall F.R.P.S. publ: Hazell,Watson, & Viney, Ltd. 1897. I was perusing the volume last evening and realised the pamphlet contained loosely within the volume had two images, one very faint, a man and a woman, printed on it. The pamphlet is an instruction sheet printed by The Autotype Company, London dated March 1892. The image of the woman appears to be a form of dot print. The image of the man appears to have been rendered with brush strokes.I wondered if they may have been printed with carbon tissue but I am not familiar with the process.

To me these look like just offset images from photos placed in the book in contact with these pages, not actual prints per se. Carbon prints are usually very strong and rich.
