Hi people,
The Mandel's Positive Process prints were popular in the teens and twenties.
They were produced by "street" photographers using Mandelette postcards
cameras. These were simple box cameras with fixed focus lenses. In the back
of the camera was a changing bag type access through which the photographer
moved the exposed paper neg. into the built in developer tank attached to
the bottom of the camera. I have anice old version of this camera and some
"film/cards" but I don't know the chemistry of the process.
