The second edition of this catalogue of literary figures, The Authors of England contains portraits engraved on steel by Achille Collas' patent process, 'anaglyptography'. The technique involved a tracing arm, which, when moved over a rounded object such as a medallion, mechanically produced an engraving which appeared embossed. The French machine required was also used to produce The Great Seals of England (1837). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
