Evening,

I think this is what he means:

Suetterlin script: a script, created by the Berlin graphic artist L. SÃ?Â¼tterlin (1865-1917), which was taught from 1915 to 1941 in German schools. It is also called the "the German handwriting". The writing is a standard form of the earlier and very different chancery writing which was mainly used by government officials.

People of an older generation often cannot write any other way and yet both the postman and the grandchildren have trouble reading their envelopes and letters written in this script. When old family documents are taken out or church books are to be read, the knowledge of this writing is absolutely necessary.

The last level of the "Suetterlin script", which is also known as "the German handwriting" - and then there is the older German called "Cantzeley Schrifft".

Here is a copy of it, someone smarter than me can post it, might come in handy sometimes:

Reference the color on the 1902 print, the process used was called Chromolithography,which is defined as a printed color lithograph in which the image is composed of at least three colors. Chromolithography is made possible by the process of superimposition of a series of colors. Engelmann used the superimposition of the three primary colors as the basis for obtaining his other desired colors (Porzio). The process of color lithography involves the use of separate stones or plates for each color used. The process is essentially the same as basic lithography, but the application of each color is printed separately through careful alignment (Hartrick). It was clear from the beginning that this development in color technology would be geared for commercial usage.

So they didn't have color photographs for the manual, just a series of colored printing plates in the exact alignment with the right mixture of colors.
