I saw some of the Robb Kendrick tintypes, Lee Marks Gallery had an interesting Tintype by Jeffrey Becom of the moon on a roughly 16x16 tintype (not sure of the exact size) printed from an anonymous paper negative. Quite a few tintypes, ambrotypes and even wet plate collodion stuff on display. Quite a few photogravures, some tinted dags, I didn't notice any gums (but that doesn't mean they weren't there), Thanks for the report, Thom... if I were a real human being instead of a human wretch, spending all week on tech support (this for wretched webmail -- don't ask!) I might conceivably have gone too (tho then again maybe not), but I'm interested in the fact of your not noticing any gums... Two possibilities come to mind : 1. gums of old were usually monochrome, so they might have passed for, say, platinum ? 2. Who would part with a vintage gum? Judy
