one remembers the beautiful gloss or polish that the majority of Baxter's Prints have. This beautiful Glaze of Baxter's many have tried to comprehend, and I advance the theory that this "Glaze " was probably obtained by placing the surface of the print on to a highly polished steel plate, and passing the same through the Press two or three times, the effect of which will give a beautiful brightness or polish to the printing. As time and tide, old fellow, wait for no man I must now con- clude, and in the near future will write you re the Mechanical Processes of the production of Baxter's Prints. Yours, &c., H. G. C. BAXTER'S PROCESS, METHODS AND DEVELOPMENT DEAR J., What an awfully wet week we have had ! No doubt you will say that even that has its blessings, as it has enabled me to fulfil my promise to you re that little chat about Baxter's Process, Methods, and Development. In the first place I must tell you that there are four methods of Printing, each of which received a different name to distinguish its Process of execution. Perhaps it will be best to mention them in order of appearance in their monotone phase, for all the methods were, in the beginning, confined to printing in one colour or tint. 1. Letterpress Printing is printing with ink from raised surfaces by pressing the paper thereupon, and includes printing from ancient and modern wood engravings, and half-tone and line blocks in black or colour, from Baxter to the present three-colour process now in vogue.
