RE: great alt process exhibit in St louis

Thanks, Loris. It IS there! I need to take the time to really look at this
book, but as Jack says, the pictures are no match for the real thing and
every time I open it up I get depressed...

Did enlargers and big film exist back then? The photograph on page 55 is 98
cm wide. The one on page 118 is 111 cm wide. Those are big even by MY
standards!

Keith, my copy seems haves that photo (I don't have the book in front of
me rigth now but I remember such an image). Yes, I wonder how they were
able to print such big gums (negatives, frames)?

Regards,
Loris.

It is quite an impressive book. Unfortunately many of my favorite
pieces in the show are not in the book as the Rennes and St. Louis
showings differed more than slightly in content. There was a
particularly impressive large dark gum of a factory spewing smoke at
twilight that I don't think made the book. A shame, because one doesn't
usually think of industrial landscapes when one hears the phrase
"pictorial photography". As you are looking through the book, be sure to
check out the dimensions of the works. Some of those gum prints were
surprisingly HUGE - something not easily conveyed in a book.
