<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 197819, member: 56"]That last article is interesting, but doesn't really provide an answer. Being 'photo heavy', I'll have to get on a faster machine before getting the full impact. Perhaps the most telling remark comes right at the end, "<i>where the original image is a photograph copied to (or even created on) a printing plate, but cut by hand</i>". That would not be difficult to do, given tintype technology, and would provide the engraver with a very specific and detailed template.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
