What is thin rag photobase exactly, and why is specially used/usefull for
Albumen printing? As I understand correctly: paper for Albumen printing is
not as critical as it can be in other processes since the albumen "lies"
on top of the paper surface, as a thin layer, and it will "follow" the
surface of the paper...
