Dandelion – Orotone
The carbon transfer, a beautiful permanent photographic processes invented in 1855 by Louis Alphonse Poitevin, he produced monochrome prints made with carbon black pigment giving the process its name.
An orotone photograph is created by printing from a negative to create a positive on a glass plate. Following exposure and development, the back of the plate is coated with gold pigment creating a gold-toned image.
Opalotypes are printed on sheets of opaque, translucent white glass. Glover and Bold of Liverpool patented the process in 1857, it was also know as Opaltype and milk glass. Early opalotypes were sometimes hand-tinted with colours to enhance their effect. Opalotypes are created using 4 colour carbon and mono- carbons process.
