]\~ATURE PR INTIN GK—The specimens exhibited of this new

•h ’ process for obtaining life-like or physiotypic impressions of plants are mostlyFerns and Mosses , but the process is still further peculiarly applicable to the representation of the Grasses, the Lichens , and the Sea-weeds. These results ar®obtained by placing the specimen to be copied upon a plate of soft lead, with a higJjWpolished surface, and passing it, at a high pressure, between hard steel rollers. D*specimen leaves its impression upon the lead, and gives not only its outline, but a 1 ,the most delicate elevations and depressions of its surface with that sharpnessfidelity as to present a perfect facsimile of the original specimen in its natural size-The lead plate thus impressed—not being practically available for printing purposes-^is copied by the electrotype process, by which a copper plate (the image ©n which **perfectly identical with the original impressed lead plate) is obtained, which can ^printed from at an ordinary copper-plate press. _ .

Nature Printing was introduced into England by Mr. Henry Bradbury , 11853; the first application of the process has been most successfully exemplified by hi®in the magnificent folio Edition of “THE FERNS OF GREAT BRITAIN AN*'IRELAND, ” Nature Printed.
