Notes
In Loder, George. Lady! The rose I give to thee (Philadelphia, 1846), vignette.
The actress Charlotte Shaw debuted at the Bowery Theater on Dec. 14, 1842. Cf. Hall, Lillian A. Catalogue of dramatic portraits (1930-1934).
“[John] Plumbe devised a method whereby his studio copied original photographic images onto a lithographer’s stone by an early and innovative method of mechanical photoreproduction that still remains a mystery. Plumbeotypes were thus actually lithographs, but with a difference, for the stones were created with the new process.”--P. 48. LCP AR [Annual Report] 1992.
