Rogers presided at_the sessiom and spoke briefly. He called upon Leounard O. Smith for a re- pom, g8 secaring the picture of the late a former president of the society, Mr. Smith spoke as fol- Jows, the pieture betng unveiled during his 3 Mr. t, Members of the New ‘London County Historfcal Soctety, Ladies and Gentlemen: “l’l Temember that at our last mseeting In Slater hall one year ago emr wonored dent, Ernest E. Rog- ers, a wish that the eociety might have a portrait of the late David A, Wells to hang among others of those Who were once presidents of this so- clety. Jomathan Trumbdull and I were appointed a committee to see if such a one couid be obtained. Tetters were written by Mr. Trum- dull to two or three outside ~.cities where he had hoped to secure one, but none could be found. Fepally ft ocourred to me to write to Wis daughter-in-law, Mrs. Marietta Al She portrafts exist.” she mimeh interest in the plan, stating fur- ther that his memory was very dear to her, and added that If we wonld have an enlarged engraving made of a small picture which she enclosed she would pay all charges and take pleasure in presenting it to the soclety. ' In the name, therefore, of Mrs. Marletta Allcroft, your committee present this portrait to the New Lon- don Historical society. Two Distinguished Names. 1t is perhaps fitting that I should 2dd a few words mors concerning him Wwhose neme we thus honor by placing this portrait upon the walls of our historical society. 'The records show that the first president of the society was our _distinguished citizen, Hon. Lafayette S. Foster. It gives me all the more DI e to menuon this name because Mr. Foster was a Frank- lin boy—born in my own native town. The people in the town of Franklin take srest pride in counting him an honored son. A worthy successor_of Mr. Foster was Fon. David Ames Wells, a Massa- chusetts boy. born in Springfield in the year 1828, a college, then of school. Mr. Wells was the author of several text ooks on chemistry, geolo- gy and physics. After the close of the Civil war he was made chairman of & committee to inquire into methods of raising the revenues ofthe country and was final- Iy appointed commissioner of internal revenue of the United States. He rendered other distinguished ser- vices both to the state and nation. Leter in life he became a strong advocate of free trade, but in this he did not have the support of the dom- inant party nor of a majority of the people of the country. Accepted by A. H. Brewer. President Rogers thanked Mr. Smith for his efforts in securing the portrait and called upon Arthur H. Brewer for a speech of acceptance. Mr. Brewer, who was an intimate personal.friend of the late Mr. Wells, gave many reminiscences and told of his charac- ter. It was Mr. Wells, said Mr. .Brewer,. who was really instrumental in saving the union back in 1364, when the United States bonds were in-a peril- ous state of depression. He was then a teacher in Troy, p X sprang prominently into public through the publication in that year of an essay on the resources and debt- payine ,ability of the United States,” bearing the title of Our Burden and Our Stréngth. Originally prepared as an essay for a locel club, it was almost immediately reprinted by the Lioyal, Publication society of New York and also by the United States government and became the great pamphlet of. the war period, circulating in this coun- try and in Burope, where it was trane-. lated igto French and German,to the extent of many thousand copies, and strengthening the credit of the goyern. ment—as was expressed at the time— as much as would have been accom- plished by a great and successful bat- tle. One result of this publication was a oonference between President Lin- coln_and Mr. Wells, at the Tequest of the former, in February, 1865, a6 to the best means of dealing with the great national debt which the war had en- tafled and the best method of raising the revenue threugh texation for the payment of the interest and for de- fraying also the great concurrent in- crease in the expenses of the govern- ment. Congress sul juently raised a commission_to inquire into the matter and Mr, Wells was appointed its ok . 'The report of the commis- sion, mainly the result of Mr, Wells’ investigations, was of such a masterly cheracter that the commission was digsolved and a speeial office, running for four years, mever before oF since SEE ECZEMA DISAPPEAR!

The New London Historical socfety may well be proud of all four of her presidents. C. A. Willlams of New London was the third, and the fourth is our pres- ent 'honored Ernest Rogers. I will add in closing that ctety was never in better condition, never 60 ably managed as at the pres- ent time. ‘And very much of encouragement and support have come from the wom- en of this county. 1 feel sure that I express mot only the sentiment of members of this S0- ciety, but also those of every person present, in sending to Mrs. Alicroft our united thanks for her gift—the portrait of our honored citizen—the te David A. Wells. i The Graphic Arts. I President Rogers then called upon Mr. Dodge for a talk on The Graphic Arts. Mr. Dodge said that he had decided to speak upon the side of the graphic arts, which was the most interesting to | him, an on which he was best informed —the processes and methods of mak- ing the engravings. t would be well at the start, he said, to divide all printing into three classes —intagiio surfaces, or those in which all the Inked portions to be printed are held in lines or dots below the main surface, such as line engravings, etch- ngs, mezzotints aquatints, etc. See- ond, relievo surfaces. where all por- tions printed are above the main sur- face, ‘as ordinary type on the printed page, wood engravings, and the ma- jority of all modern printed pictures, like half-tones and line-blocks. Third, one surface only, the ink to be print- ed resting on the surface that alse supports the paper printed, as all lith- osTaphic work. Explained by Charts. Mr, Dodee showed a chart on which the various processes were classified, and then proceeded to explain the || methods and characteristics of each. A part of Mr. Dodge’s talk which proved most interesting had te do with his own experience in engraving. He said, in part About 15 years ago I was greatly interested in_making drawings on stone, and printing them on a little band press myself -1 learned the art abroad and from a poor Frenchman whom I found stranded in the great! city because I suppose he really knew too much to be of use to the great American Lithogrgphic Trust com- pany. The ease with which the drawing is made, the look of the original pen- cil strokes that are preserved in the lithographic print, and the range from the softest and most delicatc shade to the deepest black, was what fascinat- ed me, and so, when I took to invent- ing, my first attempt was to do the same thing on copper, for copper is Dbetter than stone to/print from, for the | |l I the so- reasons I have already pointed out. Etchings Like Original Pencil Draw- ings. There =zre some of my etchings made by this process on the walls, and you will notice that while they are prints from intagio plates, they look 1ike original pencil drawings i They are made with a pencil on a special transparent paper, which was essential to the carrying out of the process, so I invented that als: I had a definite ideal when I was working this method out, and that was to preserve as far as possible the first strokes, the real intention of the | |! artist. | After five years’ hard work, I should idea also that it might revive intaglio printing, which is after all the most ||/ beautiful way of printing, for it isif very much quicker than the old way of making an intaglio plate. Instead, it has become commercial and is used for relief cut making ex- tensively. L | The . main original thought in this|} invention was that 1 reversed all pre- vious methods of getting incised or intaglio lines in a, plate by acid and with, a_tool. This T did by building up new cop- per electrolitically deposited all around the lines. It is curious that it had not been thought of, considering all the efforts that have been made in the last four hundred years to get lines down into copper. . The method -is really very simple. ferred to a perfectly clean copper plate, and these lines refuse the cop- per that rapidly forms on the plate in the _efectrolitic bath. The result is as'in_all engaved plates, a groove rep- ['| resenting the line to hold the ink in printing, with this difference—the old face of the copper is at the bottom of the: STOOV!
