Alfred Maskell, Robert Demachy Photo-Aquatint, or the Gum-Bichromate Process, With Illustrations

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. If not altogether new in principle it is so in its applica tion, for the very qualities which caused it to be cast aside at the time of its original inception as worthless, or at least impracticable, are those towards which the feeling of modern art in photography is undoubtedly tending. Inquiries concerning the method of production of the prints in bichromated pigment without transfer which have been exhibited at the last three exhibitions of the Photo graphic Salon have been so numerous that it has been thought that a description of the process would prove of value to those who desire to work it.
