I know the name from photo magazines circa 1910 -- he wrote
about gum printing. I have some in file, if I remember which file I'll
post the info.

Betty Hahn has been at the University of New Mexico for some 20 years, I

a beautiful book on her work, titled approximately "Photography, or Maybe
Not."
