* The letters O.W., G.E., and F.S. mean that the block from which the impression is taken is the Original Wood 

 (O.W.), a Good Electrotype (G.E.), or a Fac-Simile (F.S.). The latter have been mostly produced by Mr. John 

 Swain's process. Of Electrotyping, Chatto and Jackson's "Treatise on Wood Engraving" says, "By this process 

 all the finer lines of the engraving are so perfectly preserved, that impressions printed from the cast are quite 

 imdistinguishable from those printed from the original block."
