Most images are sourced from cooper or steel plate engraving, aquatints or wood-block originals. Lithographs are generally avoided because of their objectionable graininess.
 However, in exceptional cases where a lithographs have been used as the source material, the restored print image has been reduced in size (usually to 50%) to negate the grainy effect inherent in such prints.

All restored images and this website are copyright.     All rights reserved.
Our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the museums, universities, private owners,  dealers and auctioneers who have made original prints available to us.
