Writing in 1894, the photographer Hinton explains the new photographic reproduction processes to artists and publishers: how line and half-tone blocks are made and what each demands of the original. He discusses how to draw for reproduction, praising the economy of Phil May’s and Reginald Cleaver’s newspaper sketches, and how photographs should be prepared for the press.
