<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9790563, member: 8267&quot;]One of the most diagnostic features of albumen prints is the very thin paper they are on. The process of making the photographic paper involved floating the paper on a bath of egg whites, so it had to be very thin and light. Because of this, the prints are almost always mounted on a heavier card stock for support. They tend to be yellow to reddish in color, due partly to the way the albumen ages. They also often have a fine crackle texture on the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an article that includes more information about their structure and identification -</p><p><a href="https://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/pdf_publications/pdf/atlas_albumen.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/pdf_publications/pdf/atlas_albumen.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/pdf_publications/pdf/atlas_albumen.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
