covered with ready "emulsion": silver chloride sensitive
material in the binder, opposite of the home-made chloride
salt covered paper which was sensitized after silver
nitrate) printing out paper, it was available from the late
1860-s. 1864, George Wharton Simpson, inventor -- 1867,
Obernetter, industrial technology. From 1868 it was
produced with baryta layer.
It was very popular in Europe at the turn of XIX/XX century
