It is not entirely accurate to state that Resinotipia did not spread
out of Italy. In fact, it was fairly well-know in Spain during the
1920s and 1930s, in large measure because of the wide-spread
popularity of Rodolfo Namias' works in Spanish translations. I don't
have on hand a list of the photographers of the period who worked in
"Resinotipia" but there were certainly quite a few, although it never
attained in Spain the popularity of such processes as gum bichromate,
oil and bromoil.
