I read the review and would like to add my two pennies.
Judy, please don't become upset with me. I can't help myself.
Ms. Sarah Boxer mentions "Man Rays unusual photographic process",
when referring to the "Rayogram", which is his name
for the well known (then and now) "photogram". She also
mentions the "black light" used to determine if a photographic
paper has optical brighteners. There is no such thing as
"black light". She is referring to ultraviolet radiation
produced by a uv emitting device. Light is part of the visual
spectrum. UV is not. Where were the N.Y. Times fact
checkers? They goofed on this one. Ed
