"20 collotype plates from photographs of New Zealand, South Sea Natives, photomicrographs, and two portraits of the author. The Lewis Co., Boston, did the collotype prints. This is the only book by this company thus far identified. The book notes that only about 600 prints are possible from a matrix, and that these prints were polished with talc to bring out the contrast and detail."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 82
