Editorial note — The Chiaroscuros and Color Woodcuts of John Baptist Jackson
Reading edition
The first few illustrations were labeled “Actual Size”. The exact size of images on a computer screen depends largely on your monitor type; settings can generally not be changed without affecting other aspects of the display. The scale shown here was used for all “actual size” illustrations. It may appear slightly larger or smaller than intended.
Some Plates were printed out of sequence, apparently for technical reasons. They have been changed to numerical order; marginal page numbers show the original arrangement. The color Plates were printed in a block after the first page of the Postscript, at the mid-sentence point “sentimental, / banal”. This entire group has been placed after the black-and-white Plates. The absence of a Plate 4 is explained by the catalog entry.
Plates in two or three parts were printed on facing pages or fold-outs. Combined views have been added by the transcriber, as was the split view of Plate 44.
