GEORGE BAXTER (1804-1867): A Bicentenary Exhibition of Prints and Illustrations at the E. J. Pratt Library, Victoria University |
KRONHEIM PRINTS Joseph Martin Kronheim was born in Magdeburg, Germany on 26th October 1810. He moved to Edinburgh, via Paris, when he was 22 before becoming established in London around 1846. In 1850, Kronheim acquired a license to operate the Baxter process and adapted it, using zinc blocks instead of wood blocks. This, however, resulted in a flatter finish. He then turned to lithography for a short time, but soon returned to printing by the Baxter process. |
