- The plates were produced by a mixed process of photographic transposing on to a metal plate (heliograph) followed by handwork of various kinds soft-ground etching, mezzotint and aquatint, the background tint being achieved by lithography (D.H. Boalch, Prints and Paintings of British Farm Livestock, 1780-1910, 1958). Nadar (Gaspard Félix Tournachon, 1820-1910) was celebrated for his photographic portraits.
