- Description:
- The contrasts were so great in this subject that after exposure the plate, prior to development, was soaked for two minutes in solution of Potassium Bichromate .5 per cent. It was then washed in running water for two minutes and developed. Thus an attempt was made to apply Mr. John Sterry’s methods of treatment of Bromide paper for rendering subjects of great contrast to the Autochrome plate. It has certainly worked well in my hands.
