RE: Copy of: Detail in gum prints
Sandy King asks who out there is going to claim that gum does not give detail.
I had to produce a number of gum prints recently that needed clearly legible 4
point type, 4 seventy secondths of an inch, on a curving suface where the
gradation was essential to show the curve; it was possible using dichromated
albumen rather than gloy or gum arabic.
Gum can produce beautiful detail and glorious gradation as well as Turneresque
evanescence.. Its beauty as a process is that can use as you wish to achieve
your own style. One of the beauties of this list is that we can proselytise for
gum.
Note for Judy Seigel: the ball has been set in motion.
