The dear, jolly, warm-hearted

how I have always loved him

ber doll, — a doll tl

about without any tear of fractur-
ing its skull, but wli;. soon
lost its fresh complexion, and
cracked and wrinkled black skin,

HOW (LIROMOS ARE MADE.
C; iioGn.Ai'HY is the art of
'.'S from stone, in col-
moi-t difficult branch of it
— wt generally implied
when chromos are spoken of — is the
art of reproducing oil paintings.
When a cliromo is made by a com-
pelent bai ents «n exact cona

In a chromo, the first proof
ompleted
picture. It is in fact ra .low
than an outline. The next proof from
the second ston.?, contains all the
sondes of another color. This pro-
cess is repeated again and again and
again ; occasionally as often as thir-
ty times. We saw one proof, in a
visit to Mr. Prang's establishment, —
a group of cattle,— that had p
through the press twelve times; and
it still bnre a greater resemblance to
a spoiled colored photograph than to
the charming picture which it snbse*
■ [iiently became. The number of im-
pressions, however, does noj indicate
the number of colors in a painting,
because the colors and tints are great-
ly multiplied by combinations crea-
ted in the process of printing one
over another. In twenty five impres-
sions, it is sometimes necessary and
possible to produce a hnudred distinct
e8.
The last impression is made by an
engraved atone, which | reduces that
iblance to canvass noticeable in
all of Mr. Prang's fine specimens. —
English and German chromos, as a
rule, do not attempt to give this del-
icate fine tonch, although it wonld
• nii.il in order to make a
perfect imitation of a painting.
The paper u--ed is white, heavy
"plate paper," of the be»t q .
which has to pass through a heavy
-, sheet by sheet, before its sar-
is fit to receive an impression.
The process thns briefly explained,
we need hardly add, requires e \

mands a knowledge which artists have
hitherto exclusively monopolized, an i
in addition to it, the practical famil
iariiy of a printer with practical dc-
taihj. "Drying" and "registering"
are as important branches of the art
of making ehromos as drawing and
coloring. On proper registering, for
example, the entire possibiiiiy ot pro
ducing a picture at every stage of llfl
progress deuends. "Registering" is
that part of a pressman's work which
consists in so arranging the piper in
■-, that it sh:i!l receive the im-
pression on exactlv the same spot of
every sheet. In book work, each pnge
must he exactlv opposite the pa;_'e
printed on the pthcr side of the sheet,
in order that the impression, if on
thin paper, may not "show through."
In newspaper work this is of leu im-
portance, and often is not attended
to with any special care. But in
ehrorno-litliography the difference of
a hair's-breadth would spoil a picture;
tor it would hopelessly mix up the
colors.
