That it is possible, by the common processes, to obtain strong effects almost equal to engraving, may be seen in some process illustrations by Mr. Lancelot Speed, in which many technical experiments have been made, including the free use of white lining.
Mr. Speed is very daring in his experiments, and students may well puzzle over the means by which he obtains his effects by the line processes.
The illustration opposite from Andrew Lang’s Blue Poetry Book, shows a very ingenious treatment of the black-lined papers. Technically it is one of the best examples I know of,—the result of much study and experiment.
