We have visited Mr. Fernihough's Zincographic Establishment, in Bridge-street, and are exceedingly pleased with the specimens he exhibits of the Art. It seems an improvement on Lithography- its lines are fully as distinct, and yet softer. The Drawings have all the accuracy of the Copperplate with a more pleasing and graduated shade. We understand that Mr. F. has the Patent for these Colonies, and has invested considerable Capital in the undertaking - it is to be hoped he may have no reason to regret his enterprise. This Establishment adds a new feature to Colonial Arts.
