‘Forgotten’ processes

These are some of the ‘forgotten’ processes. By that we mean that no one is working and producing new images in this process – at least we haven’t found anyone. But we would be very happy to be proven wrong!

Argyrotype print inspection

Argyrotype process

Argyrotype is a user-friendly iron-based silver printing process that produces brown images on plain paper. It is derived from the Argentotype, Kallitype, and Vandyke processes of the 19th Century, but has greater simplicity, improved image stability, and longer sensitizer shelf-life.
