Hi Edward !
Have a look at Allan Griffiths' Luminous
Lint website :
and search for dichromate Gum in the
alphabetical search in the "Techniques" part of the site. this will lead you to
some photographers and some of their gum pictures (around 1898) : Clarence
White, Heinrich Kühn, members of the "Linked ring Brotherhood", gertrude
Kasebier, etc.
Another resource is the Paris Musée
d'Orsay (devoted to XIX century arts);
Go to the research page :
where you may type
"gomme bichromatée" in the "General
search" field,
check the "Photography" box in
"Disciplins" fields
type 1885 and
1905 in the "De" and "to" "work date" field
You will get 93 results by Puyo, Demachy,
Steichen, Le bègue, White,
Hoffmeister...
Constant Puyo's "Autoportrait
en casquette et fumant la pipe" is dated 1889 !
Hope it helps ! bonne
chance!
Cheers from france
Jean

Subject: Gum Prints from the 1890s
Dear All
I am putting together a talk on gum printing
for the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society and 1890 was the year it
started
Are there any online sources of gum prints from this time or
around this time?
Thanks guys
