Jack,
I remember that Philip Jackson was there at that
APIS. Philip has had a long standing interest in Woodbury. I cant remember
if he spoke about what he was doing or not. I think he was carrying some
Woodburytypes with him. After APIS he was at the RPS library researching
Woodbury.
Last I knew, Philip was working at the
National Library of Australia. It would be very interesting to know how his
researches went. He was working on several projects - including printing out
papers.
As you say, I think there wre two or
three persons at that APIS on the same quest for Woodbury. I can't think
who else just at the moment. There was a wonderful bunch of people
there with fabulous experiments on practically every process known - and
unknown.
cheers
Catherine

Stannotype Processes
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.
