replies: text: *This text was the personal recollection of a former electrotyper, Electro77. Probably valuable, but not for article space. I put something like this into Wikibooks once, but that doesn't seem appropriate for this material. Easchiff (talk) 02:05, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Big mass of text

message: Is there any objection to possibly changing the lead image? It took me several readings of the caption and article to realize that the image is not itself the result of electrotyping proper so much as simply the inventor. It actually looks like photogravure on close inspection, an unrelated printing-plate making process. While a good image, I think that it is quite likely to give others a mistaken impression that it is an electrotype (even when clarified in the text). Possibly the New York Herald image, which shows people working with the process itself, or some other one without such confusion, and moving the Jacobi image to the history section. Thoughts?

replies: text: I originally placed that image as the lead when I expanded this article. Earlier the Herald image had been the lead of a real short article. I still prefer that the lead image honor the person who invented the process. Heinrich chose to do the same in his excellent article in Journal of Chemical Education. Your comments did raise the question of how this image was printed. I've done a little research which is posted in the image description at commons. The portrait was done around 1856 by Rudolph Hoffmann, who was a well known lithographic artist; it was included in a volume of lithographs printed in 1860. Anyway, how about modifying the caption to read "Lithograph portrait of Moritz Jacobi (1801–1874), who invented electrotyping in 1838." Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 10:18, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
