<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 9797376, member: 33&quot;]Due to the rich brown tones, I think the images were made with either the carbon print or the Woodburytype process. The Woodburytype (invented in 1864) seems more likely because it was a photomechanical process, not purely photographic. To reproduce a true photograph onto a book page back then would have led to a great loss of definition and tone. Woodburytypes also had to be &quot;tipped in&quot; to books, not printed onto a page. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_print" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_print" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_print</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodburytype" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodburytype" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodburytype</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=38" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=38" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=38</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=316" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=316" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=316</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
