Synopsis
Excerpt from Electrotint or the Art of Making Paintings, in Such a Manner That Copper Plates and Blocks: Can Be Taken From Them, by Means of Voltaic Electricity
Having been engaged for a considerable time in assisting Mr. Palmer, of Newgate Street, to I carry out the process of electrotint painting, for which he has obtained a patent, he was desirous that I should write an explanation of the process, for the use of artists and amateurs considering that being an artist, I should be able to give a clearer description of the modes of proceeding, than a person with some pretensions to literary excellence, but wholly unacquainted with the technicalities of art.
