Bigelow originally planned to use hand-colored copper plate engravings which are employed in the first half of the first volume. This method proving too expensive and laborious he sought a method of printing color rather than applying it by hand. Richard Wolfe who has made an exhaustive study of the work believes that the rest of the plates the book was issued in six parts over a three-year period were made by etching a stone block then applying the colors to the stone 'a la poupee'. The stone inked with multiple colors was then printed in a single impression. This is the only use of such a process an American color plate book." - Reese 19th Century American Color Plates Books #10.

189160747Portland OR & Ilwaco WA: Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. McAlpin & Lamb W. Morrison July 1891. Oblong albumen photo sized 9.5 x 7 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8 x 10 in. slight curving still a superb exemplar from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. This outstanding original albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. and the soon-to-be-launched Sidewheeler Ocean Wave. Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour. She included enough state room accommodations for 115 passengers and berths for 75 more. Her first captain was Lester Bailey and the Ocean Wave was a vital link to the short narrow gauge railroad on the Long Beach Peninsula which transported vacationers from Portland to Ilwaco WA with a stop in Astoria. In 1897 Kammâ€™s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. â€œWhite Lineâ€ to compete with Kammâ€™s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.
