Jack,
Woodburytypes could be of any color, and the surface could vary a
lot depending on final treatment. Basically they are carbon prints,
made with a press. Any look you want in Woodburytype could probably be
obtained with carbon printing.

I could find the papers Catherine but
like many a thing such as they the light of day has not shone upon
them for some while. The Woodburytypes I saw (historic) were lovely.
Kind of purplish and that slight
embossing gave them a
dimension.
Thanks

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

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.
