Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to producing your own gelatine dry plates for use in photography. Written in 1881, it details the practical steps involved in the process, from selecting the appropriate materials to developing and fixing the negatives. The author emphasizes the importance of minimizing light exposure during preparation and development, as gelatine emulsion is sensitive to light. The book outlines methods for testing the sensitivity of plates and includes instructions for preparing plates for use with various lighting conditions. It also discusses the techniques of intensifying and reducing negatives, as well as mounting and varnishing the finished product. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of photography and for those seeking to understand the technical aspects of early photographic processes.
