Re: The Woodburytype and Stannotype Processes

[Jack Fulton <jefulton1@comcast.net>]

Do any of you who attended the first APIS gathering put on by Terry King in Bath?

A couple of men from I cannot remember where, came with examples of Woodburytypes and an

explanation of how they were made. they were also attempting to revive the process as I remember.

Like Luis Nadeau and the Fresson process, but perhaps better ascribed to the one no one really knows how to repeat it, the Autochrome by the Lumiere Bros., I don't think anyone alive today could make a Woodburytype  . . . right?

 This encyclopaedia contains a very concise description and working procedure for the Woodburytype processs,  eleven and half pages, plus a couple more pages on Stannotype, in which a  successful attempt was made to incorporate tin foil in the mould making. The whole process requires industrial levels of expertise to accomplish top quality results.

  

 I have a copy of the encyclopaedia and if anyone on the List would like to receive this info just let me know, OFF List ,and I will scan the pages and  we  might negotiate mailing. Or you could access the pages through a library.

 

Hoping Barret Oliver's book does well.
