- Description:
- This process is one for converting bromine prints or enlargements into oil prints. The upper half of the top print is the original bromide. The lower half of the same print has been treated so that it will pigment readily, after a brief soaking in water. The lower print shows the finished result in oil pigment.
The advantages of the method are its ease and rapidity. An enlarged negative is not required, and personal control over the result is not limited to the pigmenting process, as a great deal can be exercised in making the enlargement.
The print can be prepared in less than ten minutes, and the image can be pigmented far more rapidly than the image in bichromated gelatine commonly used in the oil process.
Any bromide papers are serviceable, excepting only the exceptionally rough varieties, which do not pigment well.
The specimen is on Barnet rough matt paper and is shown by permission of Messrs. Elliott & Sons, who own the copyright of the original prints. - Exhibit type:
