* "Full-Color Reproductions by the Million: Paintings and pictures once could not be reproduced except by hand copying; couldn't be printed at all. Today, photo-engraving makes high-speed printing in full colors a practical art based on the fact that three primary colors – red, yellow and blue – will form all others.

In the press the three are printed in the proper inks, one after the other, and the combined impression complete the picture . . . "
