STILL-LIFE WITH THE PEACOCKWood-engraving. W. J. Linton THE UNITED STATES black and white masses. As the wood-en-graver grew proficient in his technique, hewidened his field by imitating the eftect ofetching or engraving on copper, in rivalrywith this form of illustration. In this hesucceeded so well that the other, more ex-pensive modes of adornment were largelydriven from the field of book illustration.With the advent of photography, the de-sign could be fixed upon the wood blockmechanically, accurately, without the trou-ble of a careful drawing. The values of tonein the photograph relieved the engraverfrom the work of translating col or-valuesinto black and white. The blending half-tones of the photograph invited close imi-tation, and thus tone-engraving developed,with its masses of fine lines, close together,merging into tone. Beautiful results wereachieved in this way by men like Jlingling,French, Timothy Cole, Wolf, and manyother engravers; but soon the human handwas dispossesse
