Excerpt from Half-Tone on the American Basis
Look back to the earliest days of the process, which commenced so modestly and insignificantly, and consider the short space of time - not more than twelve years - that the young process has been developing, and realise the industry that has sprung up from the idea of one man. As yet we cannot see the end of these developments, for the process of Autotypy has only just been adapted to three-colour printing. A little space of time, and where now only the form is presented, sketched in grey monotone, we shall see the cheeks redden, the eyes reflect their prismatic sheen, the mouth display its purply lips, and Nature unfold the whole of her colour Charms.
