40 pages 20 plates (including frontispiece) 31 cm

Notes:
"Introduction" signed: Philip Phillips.

Summary:

"Photographs by Phillips printed as Ink Photos by Sprague & Company, London. Ink Photos could be printed either by lithography, as here, or by relief. The process was a secret one that used a random dot screen much like a heavy collotype pattern. The resulting pictures have a crude but fascinating quality. Sprague claimed to have started this form of printing in 1879, though most encountered are from the 1890s."--David Hanson documentation
