Book excerpt: "The 20 collotypes are from Greatorex's drawings. This appears to be one of Joseph Albert's first publications under his own name and odd also that it is an English language and copyrighted publication. Albert later republished 19 of the drawings in an Oberammergau album. Did she meet him during her stay in Oberammergau and did she see his early collotype work? She notes in this book on page 31 that Albert came to Oberammergau to photograph the Passion Play while she was there. He sold the license to do Albertype in the US to Edward Bierstadt in 1869. Also their choice of use of the word 'Heliotype' is curious. The term for collotype was fluid at this point but his particular term used in an American publication is odd given that the Ernest Edwards patent used that term for his method." -- Fred Pajersky documentation.
