Lectures on the History of Religions Sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies, New Series, 2. The wonderful plates in this first printing of the FIRST EDITION are printed in fine 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. 008-2 .
