A concise, practical guide to orthochromatic photography, drawn from a 1901 lecture.

It explains how color-sensitive plates render scenes differently from black-and-white, with notes on when and why to use a screen to improve color values and detail.

This edition covers how winter landscapes, clouds, and foliage can be captured more faithfully, and it explains choices of color screens, filters, and safe lighting. It also offers tips on working, developing, and exposing orthochromatic plates to get harmonious results.

Learn how screens and filters affect color luminosity and contrast in landscape and cloud scenes
Compare different plate types and how their latitude influences exposure and timing
Discover safe-light strategies and practical development guidance for orthochromatic work
Understand how to adjust screens to fit specific plates for best color rendering

Ideal for readers of historical photography methods and practitioners curious about early color-sensitive plate work and its practical application.
