Re: The Woodburytype and Stannotype Processes

Absolutely Cor. That is who they were and you're correct in regard to  
the pressure. You'll remember that lovely purplish warm color and the  
dimensional quality, ever so slight, of the sample(s). Really nice,  
and typical enthusiastic Dutch, fellows. I'll bet that somewhere in  
all my now well buried notes I have their names. But, somehow, I had  
felt they were on the way to finding out how to do it. Dick Sullivan  
may remember them as well.
