"23 collotype illustrations, mounted on cards with decorative borders, of photographs in and around Lynn. The photographer C.E. Cook's name is stamped below each print. The production on this set seems to indicate the use of the Artotype patent because many that utilized it early on mounted the plates using rounded corners and also glazed the pictures so they would look closer to albumen prints. The card stock used here also points to the Lithotype Company, which had locations in Gardner, Mass., and in New York City."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 61
