'retro-invention' method in finding a method which would come close to
reproducing the 'sanguine' prints which, I assume, were made using only one
coat. I did some research in journals of the 1890s but the most telling
comment was from Demachy who said that he never weighed anything out he just did
things until they looked right.

negative which I had been using for platinum printing. It struck me that as the
negative I proposed to use was one more likely to be successful in the making of
a carbon print it would be a worthwhile approach to combine aspects of both
carbon and gum printing. I am delighted to say that it worked. I will include the
approach in my paper on 'retro-invention' at the Photohistory XIII conference in
Rochester in October.
