agustin barrutia Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Dear list. I´ve been reading about this process in the last week, and I´m really interested in trying it. Most of the articles I read talk about a Hershel book/paper that give details of it. I tried to find it on the WWW but didn´t get to it. Does someone have any info on that paper, or other XIX/XX century literature about Anthotypes?. I read that Deionized water (Distilled will give me the same results?) is better than Alcohol, and that the flowers should be picked up still young. Then I got quite worried about an article talking of gases breaking printing frames glasses. Any experiences with it? Any info about the process would be welcome. Thanks a lot!!

martino Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi there, I have done some work with Anthotypes recently. http://www3.sympatico.ca/zubita/altphoto/ I used the article from the British Journal of Photography to make mine. Quite easy really although patience is requires and much sunlight. I used red poppies. And so far I have not noticed any fading over the last two months. There are other descriptions in older texts like Joseph Eder's History of Photography and there is a book on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2560970019&category=2196&rd=1 If you outbid please share, ;-) It's a lovely process and does work. Suitable for fine art or large negative printing. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
