Alberto,
I specifically left out the source on my first post just to see if
anyone cared enough about the old books to ask me for the specifics :)
Gum Bichromate Printing, The Practical Photographer Series #18. F. C.
Lambert, and Thos Harrison Cummings, editors. Chicago: Burke and James,
May 1905.
"A Few Notes on Gum Bichromate" by Robert Demachy, pp. 11-13.
That book is full of info on gum.
Apparently Demachy wrote 6 books, so I'm sure this stuff is elsewhere, too.
I have only read one, the 1898 version he co-authored with Maskell.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where in the United States, Canada or,
say, even, London there would be back issues of the British Journal of
Photography--all years from start to finish--where I would be able to
research? Or where I could locate a master index of the BJP if there was
such a thing? The U of MN is missing volumes. It may be because they are
in an uproar right now with changing systems, as in their catalog they show
they have those volumes. The BJP is so incredibly full of info I consider
it, really, about the best source out there. Being a weekly, it is HUGE.
Chris
