ABOUT THE ALBUMEN PRINT:
Albumen is a salted paper print with an albumen binder. Albumen from egg whites holding the photographic chemicals to the paper. Cotton paper is first coated with a salted albumen solution, followed by a silver nitrate solution to form light-sensitive paper. Exposure to light changes the silver chloride to image forming metallic silver. Albumen prints have a semi-gloss to high-gloss surface depending on the coating/s. Developed in 1850 by Louis Desire Blanquart- Evrard, albumen became the dominant form of photographic printing from 1855 to the turn of the 20th century.
Albumen prints are contact prints, the negative is the same size as the image.
