"Four Albumen prints and one photoglyphic engraving of photographic views at Teneriffe of the edge of the crater. William Henry Fox Talbot made the steel plate [for Plate number 5] and 500 impressions were made from it. Negatives were made by Piazzi Smyth in 1856. This publication is one of only three or four that were ever illustrated by Talbot utilizing his photoglyphic process."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 27
