<p>[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 47164, member: 481"]So I've had a very close look at the image and compared it to the information at the Graphics Atlas site and it looks like an albumen print. I can clearly see the paper fibres (using a loupe) and the image has yellowed, especially at the edges. That's a very useful website! And it means the print probably dates to the 1890s, rather than the 1900s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=103]@silverthwait[/USER] - many thanks for the advice - I had a similar thought earlier today and will take care not to expose it to bright light![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
