Lithograph.;The image is made usinga waxy crayon on a block of limestone or a zinc plate, the surface of which is wetted, and rolled with ink. The ink adheres to the wax , but not the dampened surface. As the image lies on the surface and not in the grooves, little pressure is needed during printing. Hence no plate marks.   Chromolithograph prints from the 19th Century. The process was based on lithography (printing from stone slabs), but extended so that a stone was used for each color and each seperate color was laid on top of the previous one.... thus the paper sheet was printed on several times before the print was finished. Colours were built up in layers on the final print, to achieve the effect. This required both a number of stones (adding to the expense) and a very precise method for laying the stones.

The original set, considered a classic on canaries, contained 56 chromolithographs and numerous wood engravings that are still admired by canary aficionados today. It was divided into three sections: canaries by Blakston, British cage-birds by Swaysland and foreign cage-birds by Weiner (including the parrots). Blakston was one of the great canary experts of his time. J.W. Ludlow was an ornithological artist who apparently specialized in domestic birds. He illustrated several books published by Cassell and others between 1867 and 1886 on poultry and pigeons, including The Illustrated Book of Poultry
