<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9864588, member: 33"][USER=82566]@Jim Goodykoontz[/USER] , you might want to check the Graphics Atlas online -- <a href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/</a> , under the Identification tab. When that comes up, check the Photographic processes. There are very detailed illustrations and points for each, even microscopic ones. Since you have it in a frame, and I assume under glass, you would be the best able to identify it. You might consider removing it from the frame to have a better look at the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's possibly a glare from the glass on the front, but I'm seeing a silver sort of glow around the edges in the darker areas. If that is not a reflection from the glass, it would suggest one of processes like silver gelatin. Those tend to get a silvery sheen on the surface, which is considered damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
