The Albumen Print - Photographic Processes Series - Chapter 6 of 12발음듣기

When the albumen print was invented in 1850 they then called salted paper prints, ‘plain prints’.발음듣기

The only difference is, one has egg white and one doesn’t.발음듣기

It’s the same process.발음듣기

So these are examples of albumen prints.발음듣기

The albumen print was invented in 1850 by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard and was the most popular photographic process of the 19th century.발음듣기

This is an example of a pristine albumen print how it would have looked when it was first produced.발음듣기

This is an example of a faded, yellow albumen print characteristic of albumen deterioration.발음듣기

The albumen print is a silver chloride process.발음듣기

It uses table salt as part of its process.발음듣기

All it is, is paper that’s been floated on a solution of albumen egg white.발음듣기

The earliest albumen printing operations literally kept a lot of chickens because it took a lot of eggs to make a lot of albumen prints.발음듣기

You take eggs and you separate the white from the yolk.발음듣기

You beat the white, and when it settles back down again you have this beautiful yellow liquid.발음듣기

In the liquid there’s sodium chloride, or salt.발음듣기

You float the paper on that, and when the paper’s dry it’s a nice shinny surface.발음듣기

The paper is then floated, after it’s dry on silver nitrate, and when the silver nitrate and the chloride combine you get photographic paper.발음듣기

What you finally have is a cheap and comparatively easy way of preparing a paper for making a photograph using a negative that may have been produced by any number of processes.발음듣기

So a collodion negative could be printed as an albumen print.발음듣기

You would have your negative and you would place it in contact with the sensitized paper and expose with sunlight.발음듣기

The thing that distinguishes an albumen print from a salted paper print or a platinum print is the image is suspended on a layer above the paper rather than being embedded in the paper fibers.발음듣기

Creating a much more precise, and crisp image.발음듣기

This is when we see the rise of the great industrial photographic houses.발음듣기

Producing popular photographs of tourist sites.발음듣기

Even then, we’re beginning to think, if you don’t have a photograph of it you didn’t really experience it.발음듣기

It was the beginning of really aggressive mass marketing, and mass production of photographs for general consumption.발음듣기

This was the predominant printing paper from 1850 to about 1890.발음듣기

People like Frith produced photographically illustrated bibles where he photographed sites in the 19th Century where things that were told about in the bible were said to have happened.발음듣기

We begin to see how really as early as the 1870’s and 80’s the photograph becomes a really important not just a conveyer of knowledge and information but a shaper of knowledge and information.발음듣기

And it was the albumen print that made that possible because it was precise, it was detailed, it was cheap and it could be mass produced and distributed easily.발음듣기
