The wonderful photographic plates and text illustrations are printed in tinted collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. (Note: a heavy set, over 10 KG). OSIRIS-7 .
