plates  of  lead  and  steel,  and  subjecting  them  to  powerful  pressure  ;  from  a  cast 
made  of  this  impression,  an  electrotype  is  subsequently  obtained,  which  is  used 
for  printing  in  the  ordinary  way.  The  prints  exhibit  the  shape  and  the  vena- 
tion of  the  leaves  perfectly.
