Show Invented Halftone The process of reproducing the tones of a photograph by means of dotted or checkered spots was invented in-vented in 18S0 by Stephen Henry Horgan, an American photographer, photogra-pher, says Pathfinder. The first halftone ever printed appeared in the Nmv York Daily Graphic in 18S0. But Morgan's process was not immediately accepted. In fact, he was fired as art director of the New ork Herald in 1893 when he suggested using halftones to publisher pub-lisher James Gordon Bennett. The values of half-tones are? achieved by interposing a screen between the original photograph and the plate to be etched. Mr. Horgin also experimented with transmitting photographs by wire, inventing a method in 1879. |
