Liverpool International Exhibition - 1886

[dazza]

Illustrations were usually etchings or woodblock engravings, etc. It was not until the 1890?s that the first halftone photographic reproductions appeared in daily papers, and then it took another ten years before the process was fully adopted.

Thanks Chris,

Of course, it never occured to me before? Fox Talbot was producing images as early as the 1840's, but it took another 60 years to get the images fully mobile. Amazing stuff, and hence, 'The Illustrated London News', with its sketches, not photographs.
