- 321
- Description:
- Nos. 318 and 319 are prints on gaslight paper developed with rodinal and subjected to local intensification with mercury and ammonia. A very fair approximation to natural colouring is thus obtained. In the case of No. 318, the Shrew-mouse, the approximation is remarkable. The skin of a typical Shrew-mouse is exhibited for comparison.
Nos. 320 and 321 are carbon transparencies backed. In No. 321, the Musk Beetle, advantage is taken of the fact that a strong solution of ammonium persulphate will discharge the green of most green tissues. Ammonium persulphate had been applied to the background, and the insect has been backed with metallic powders. - Exhibit type:
