ALBUMEN PRINTS were invented in 1850. It produced a clearer image than the salted paper print. It was made by coating paper with a layer of egg white and salt to produce a print.
You can make prints at home using refined printing processes. For instance, the techniques available are Bromoil, Cyanotype, Gum Bichromate, Salt Printing and Argyrotype. I’ll be using the latter to print brown, sepia-coloured pictures.
