Maybe..... That is most interesting HubertG. Thank you for that. (My mind pictures up a light reflecting the photo image on to a mirror, which is then re-reflected on to the plate, for the artist to draw.)

Some of the drawings in the old catalogues do look very realistic and some just look almost fantastical.
I'll bear in mind in the future that the more naturalistic ones could very likely be drawn from photos (that Betten engraving of Francis Dubreuil springs to mind).
I'm not really familiar with printing procedures at that time, but If I find a useful website I can link it here.
