The New universal library
Description
"Turner undertook a series of 12 marine mezzotints in collaboration with Thomas Lupton in 1820, and six plates were issued in three Parts between 1826 and 1828. But the relationship between Turner and Lupton was difficult, and ended before the complete series was issued; the whole set did not appear until after Turner's death, in the present edition by Gambart, with commentary on John Ruskin"--abebooks website.

These volumes include 87 collotype illustrations from art, many marked "artotype", copied from the English edition. Two printers were used for the plates, Harroun & Bierstadt, New York, and the Heliotype Printing Co., Boston. These volumes provide examples of how photomechanical processes were becoming used in art publication to reproduce an images originally published elsewhere. -- Hanson Collection Catalog, p. 61.
