Footnotes:
[1] Our frontispiece, a Collotype by S.B. Bolas and Co., is an excellent example of this process.
[2] The copper deposited by electro-deposition is little more than a thin skin of metal, which is then backed by a block of type-metal of the same thickness as the usual letterpress type.
[3] See remarks on printing in [Chap. X.]
[4] The term "tone," as used here and elsewhere throughout this book, is a word universally employed in art to express varying degrees of lightness and darkness irrespective of colour. The word "shade," as commonly used and accepted, comes nearest to its meaning, but that shade refers rather to varying tint of local colour, as when one says "a beautiful shade of pink." "Shade" is also used to express the reverse of "light," as "light and shade." Objects in nature, when represented in correct relationship of lightness and darkness, are said to be in correct relative tone.
[6] Here, with all due deference, I may draw attention to the unpleasing effect of an illustration of elliptical or "cushion" shape, especially when mixed with letterpress on a book page, the general scheme of which is square or rectangular. Unless an irregular shape is for a special purpose desirable, it will be safer to keep the illustrations to a rectangular form.
