An Account of the Crustacea of Norway, Vol. 6: With Short Descriptions and Figures of All the Species
Excerpt from An Account of the Crustacea of Norway, Vol. 6: With Short Descriptions and Figures of All the Species
As to the plates accompanying the present Volume, they are, as will be seen, reproduced in quite a different manner from those in the preceding Volumes, where the autographic method has been applied throughout. This latter method may indeed give very good results, as seen from some of the earlier Volumes of the present work. But the method involves some danger for the clearness of the drawings, if not the outmost care is taken in their transfer on the stone. I have been very sorry to see that several of the plates accompanying the last (5th) Volume, for want of an habile and experienced printer, have been less satisfactorily reproduced, and I therefore have thought it right to abandon this method altogether and to chose another method, the phototypic one, which, though somewhat more costy, will better ensure the perfect reproduction of my drawings.

An utterly lovely read for work, and for the most part well beyond what I needed. Which made this set perfect.
