Dear alt friends ,
I have spend some days in Seattle, WA where I visited the Edward S. Curtis gallery (Flury&Comp.)
A large collection of Gold-tone images is shown at the moment and I was so fascinated by the appearence of this prints that I want to know more about this unique technique of this unique artist.

Somebody out there who can feed me with technical information about this process (also called Orotone) - need some more differentiated info on it - what I found through the search engines is only the fact that he builds up a silver image on a glass plate and backpacked it with an emulsion of gold-powder.

Thanks in advance
