I might like to add that, while silver gelatin was born as an
in-camera negative material in 1871 followed by others who improved
this technology to a huge success in a matter of few years, and while
people adapted this technique to POP and developing paper emulsions,
the quality of printing emulsions and processing in general were not
very good until a few decades had passed.
