In the present state of the artMrs Grumby, the expense
of this security would be considerable. The number
of copies capable of being worked of from
a copper plate without prejudice to that sharpness
on which the density may in some manner
depend is limited: say for example 800 or 1000.
How this comes in on occasion for applying to on
a very ingenious invention which hitherto, for
want of such an occasion seems to have remained
unapplied and unnoticed. I mean the
art whereby engravingdesigns, originally engraved on
copper, are by means of an intermediate mould transferred to glass — a material
much less copied (it is said) a ware, in a
state fit for furnishing improvisions — and in a
state of shape with—(it is said)—and
number adequate to this or any other purpose.
An account of this invention may be seen in Nicholson's Journal for May 1st 1798 No 15: being
there reprinted from a paper circulated by
the Author Mr. Professor William of Glasgow with
specimen which I have seen and heard spoken
of by which is adequate to the performance of
what is promised. It is there spoken of as a reassurance
securityagainst forgery: but in which way it is
proposed to operate in that character is not mentioned.
"High embellishm elaboration"..."collateral
embellishment...and "peculiar manner of some
"eminent master...on here recommended for that
purpose: but how this subject should be the
portrait of a living person is not said.
