[alt-photo] Re: caseine patent

[Christina Anderson]

Oh Kees, thank you! I missed this! I will check it out asap.

I am able to get a lot of info off the web via Google books, but have to be careful to spell it casein, caseine, kasein, but the big problem is that casein was not differentiated from carbon printing or pigment printing just as, when I first started researching gum I had to research those two items. 

I'm getting the British Journal of Photography sent here by the decade, on microfilm. If I had millions of dollars, I would do a google scan of each and every BJP in existence and have a huge database. It is the best source of photo history there is.

Back to casein. It truly did not take off like gum did. Gum was first hated and then loved at the end of the 1800s but casein, not any big moment in time.

Those of you into experimentation, I did find out that you can use skim milk, buttermilk and soy casein! So who is going to make a tofu print?
