1871 - NEW DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPHY

A new process called heliotype, by which photographs can be printed independently of light, and in a permanent style, is attracting attention. It maybe thus briefly described. The photograph is taken on a sheet of gelatine; this sheet is fastened down upon a plate of metal, and after a little preparation, in which sponge and water play a part, can be printed from it as if it were an engraved block. Ordinary printing-ink laid on with a roller is used, and the sheet is printed in an or-dinary printing press, and with a remarkable preservation of the lights and half-tones.
