XEW AND IMPORTANT PHASE IN TUE PHOTOGRAPHIC
'lll%—ln The British Journal of Photography of Nov.

(published by Mr. Greenwood, of Castle-street)
appears a most interesting specimen of a new invention,
3: Herr Paul Pretsch, for transferring the impression
13i a photograph, with the aid, of the electrotype, to an
dinary block, which can be printed with the same
4,,eility as a wood-cut. The specimen given is a view
‘.31 the porch of Strasbourg Cathedral, and was printed
in the usual manner by a steam "platen" machine.
The minute and elaborate details of the carving which
adorns the entrance is given with a fidelity and exact-
em which could certainly not be secured by any other
known process • and we doubt not this, and its economy
;Then; applied to book illustrations, will recommend the
Peet, application of this important invention to various
purposes connected with the press and business gene-
i.4llT. We understand Mr. Greenwood has already
received many communications from different parts of
i.u!e country highly flattering as the utility of the new
"elation. We are glad that Liverpool has the honour
being
°f
b the first place where photography has been
ill'ought into direct conjunction with type, as this block
been "worked" with the other pages of Mr. Green-
°od's journal. The block thus worked is the joint
production
of photography and electrotype, absolutely
i
bntouched by the graver. We have no doubt Herr
is,!etsch will soon bring his important invention (which
sof course, still a secret) to much greater perfection,
