HINTS TO COLLECTORS
OF EX LIBRIS.
To distinguish how a book-plate
may have been produced.
A lithograph or a photo-lithograph may be distinguished from a woodcut, or from a copper engraving, by the following: By the quality of the lines, whether cut with the graver or etched upon copper; drawn with the pen or with the fine sable pencil. Each has a character of handling and manner of its own by which it may be recognised. A little observation of admitted examples with the aid of a strong magnifying glass will generally resolve this.
