The early half-tones by Moss as well as the surprising ones by the Heliotype Printing Company add considerably to the allure of this publication. It was issued again [1888], but with all of the collotypes by Britton & Rey, whose abilities were not as high as the other companies."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 87
