From T. W. J Connolly's The History of the Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. Consisting of 17 coloured plates, the first three plates were produced by Hullmandel & Walton, and the other 14 were produced by M. & N. Hanhart. Charles Joseph Hullmandel (1789 – 1850) is recognised as a key figure in the development of British lithography during the first half of the 19th century, with his name appearing on thousands of lithographic prints. Hullmandel developed a method in which gradations in tones could be applied, allowing for an effect that appeared not too dissimilar to soft colour washes. The Art of Drawing on Stone, an essay written by Hullmandel in 1824, proved to be a particularly important handbook in the method of lithography. In 1843, Hullmandel went into partnership with Joseph Fowell Walton (1812 – after 1863). Army Museums Ogilby Trust, British Mililtary Costume Prints, 1972, 193.
