ZOOPRAXOORAPH T 



When one of tlie series of foreshortenings is made at a 

 right angle with the lateral series the arrangement of the 

 phases is usually thus: 



Laterals. 



Rear Foreshortenings 

 from points of view on 

 the same vertical line, 

 at an angle of 90 deg. 

 from the Laterals. 



Front Foreshortenings 

 from points of view on 

 the same horizontal 

 plane, at suitable an- 

 gles from the Laterals. 



The plates are T^ot photographs in the common accepta- 

 tion of the word, but are printed in Permaxext Ink, from 

 gelatinised copper-plates, by the New York Photo-Gravure 

 Company, on thick linen plate-paper. 



The size of the paper is 45 x 60 centimetres — (19 x 24 

 inches), and the printed surface varies from 15 x 45 to 

 20 X 30 centimetres — (6 x 18 to 9 x 12 inches). 



The number of figures on each plate varies from 12 to 36. 



To publish so great a number of plates as one undivided 

 work was considered unnecessary, for each subject tells its 

 own story; and inexpedient, for it would defeat the object 

 which the University had in view, and limit its acquisition 

 to wealthy individuals, large Libraries, or Institutions 

 where it would be beyond the reach of many who might 

 desire to study it. 



It has, therefore, been decided to issue a series of One 

 Hundred Plates, which number, for the purposes of pub- 

 lication, will be considered as a "copy" of the work. 

 These one hundred plates will probably meet the require- 

 ments of the greater number of the subscribers. 



In accordance with this view is re-issued the following 

 prospectus.
