[Phototypie plates of photographs in Terres cuites d'Asie Mineure]

Froehner, Wilhelm, 1834-1925. Terres cuites d'Asie Mineure · 1881

"40 Phototypie plates (Marechal and Motay?) of photographs of terra-cotta sculptures, Chine collee, in red ink and one (plate 40) in black ink. Gustave Arosa was the printer who purchased the rights to Marechal and Motay's Phototypie process in the mid-1860s and most books in this process date from this period and the early 1870s. The process only allowed for less than one hundred prints per matrix since the surface would deteriorate before more could be printed."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 70
