Photographic print on paper, coated with albumen (egg white) and ammonium chloride, and made light-sensitive by a solution of silver nitrate. A printing method using albumen paper, which was introduced in 1850 by Niepce de St. Victor, was popular in the nineteenth century.
Photograph printing-out paper with a smooth, often shiny, surface and fine detailing produced by the egg white coating; often ranging in color from reddish to purplish brown, but with gold chloride toning (especially after 1855), more often a warm mid-brown color with yellowish highlights.
albumen is the white of a chicken egg, used in photography as a base for holding light-sensitive silver solutions to paper or glass.
This printing process is used in photography printing processes. Egg whites are used in the emulsion.
A predominant photographic printing process of the 1800s which used egg albumen as one of the materials to coat the paper.
An old photographic paper coated with egg white to increase brightness of whites.
Introduced in 1850 by L.D. Blanquart-Evrard. The most common photographic print in the 19th century. Made by coating the paper with the egg albumen and sodium chloride, producing a rich sepia color and slightly glossy surface. These prints were often toned with gold chloride to subdue the sepia tone and improve the permanence of the photograph.
A photographic print made on paper coated with eggwhite and salt solution and sensitized with silver nitrate solution. The print is made by exposure to sunlight through a negative.
Albumen printing is a positive process using egg whites in the emulsion. It was introduced in 1850 by L.D. Blanquart-Evrard and was in wide use until 1900. Albumen prints were often toned in gold chloride to cool the brown color and improve the permanence of the photograph.
A process invented in 1850 by Louis-Desiré Blanquart Evrard in which a contact print is made on a paper treated with a solution of egg white (albumen) and salt, then sensitized with silver nitrate, and exposed in sunlight.
The most common photographic print in the 19th century made by coating the paper with the egg albumen and ammonium or sodium chloride, and sensitizing with a 10-12% solution of silver nitrate, producing a rich sepia color and slightly glossy surface.
A photographic printing process using egg whites in the emulsion.
The albumen print, invented in 1850 by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, was the first commercially exploitable method of producing a print on a paper base from a negative. It used the albumen found in egg whites to bind the photographic chemicals to the paper and became the dominant form of photographic positives from 1855 to the turn of the century, with a peak in the 1860-90 period. During the mid-1800s, the Carte de visite (also known as CdV) was one of the most popular forms of this type of printing process.
