Information on orotone is available at:
http://www.utahcard.com/magazine/education/terms/photography/07.html
http://members.nbci.com/altphotoprc/alt99a/0332.html
Note in the latter reference that Luis Nadeau states that his Encyclopedia
has information on these processes. As I understand it, orotones are merely
prints on glass backed with gold. They bring good prices at auctions!
