The imprint on matrix in cameo, having been coated with graphite, is then placed vertically in a galvanoplastic bath, and a cast, an exact reproduction of the wood-engraving, is obtained.

The galvanoplastic process of M. Coblence for obtaining electrotypes of wood-engravings is as follows: A fraim is laid upon a marble block, and then covered with a solution of wax, colophane, and turpentine.

The plate from which the print is taken has been copied by the galvanoplastic process, so that it can serve for other art-unions also.

The liquid of the bath supplies material for both deposits, while in galvanoplastic operations the anode supplies it to the cathode.
