| TEXT | The advances which have been made during late years in all that appertains to the art of printing and lithography is nowhere more noticeable than with regard to what is known as photo-lithography. By means of this unique and beautiful art, designs, wood-cuts, plans, maps, etc., are produced at the present daj", which but a few years ago would have been absolutely impossible otherwise than by the hand of the artist and painter, and what was formerly impossible to obtain in art drawings has become serviceable for commercial purposes. Here in New York this industry is represented by the well known and popular American Photo-Lithographic Co., which was founded in 1866 and duly incorporated by gentlemen prominent in their various avocations, and all known for their sterling integrity and honorable dealing. Every variety of line work by Osborn's process of photo-lithography is executed in the highest style of the art. Copies may be had in fac-simile, and of any size, whether enlarged, reduced or of full scale, with absolute accuracy and economy, the transfers being made by photography instead of by the hand of an artist. Drawings should be done in line, with black India ink, on smooth white paper, as the process is not adapted to ordinary photographs possessing half tones or tints and views direct from nature, nor drawings shaded in any way in ink or water-colors. These are first drawn by the artists of the American Photo-Lithographic Co. in lines, and the advantages of this process artistically and commercially are very many, and its productions excite general admiration. The company is at all times prepared to make designs and furnish estimates for all descriptions of commercial and artistic photo-lithography, and is prepared to copy line engravings, lithographs, music, architectural plans, maps, artistic pen-drawings, engineers' plans, manuscript letters, etc., full scale, enlarged or reduced, according to the desire and wishes of patrons. None but the most skilful and careful operators and artists are employed, and the whole establishment is under the direct and critical supervision of the officers of the company, who have obtained an excellent reputation for the faithful manner in which they have performed all work entrusted to them. The factory is located at Brooklyn and is one of the finest and best equipped in this country, and the work turned out is of great merit and excellence, and is equal if not superior to anything produced either in the United States or Europe. The company does work for the following houses to which it refers: D. Appleton & Co., E. & H. T. .Anthony & Co., Frank Leslie, Western Union Telegraph Co., G. Schinner, Music; Thomas D. Stetson, Patent Lawyer; L. W. Serrell, Patent Agent; American Tract Society, Methodist Book Concern, Munn & Co., Scientific News, Thomas Stent, Architect, New York Tribune, and numerous others. Those interested entering on a correspondence with the American Photo-Lithographic Co. will be met with prompt and courteous attention, and transactions entered into with it will result in complete satisfaction, and to the cementing of profitable and permanent business relations. |
