<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 9226282, member: 16283&quot;]One side of the plate was coated with black <span style="color: #000000">varnish</span>.When the bare side was blackened, the thickness of the glass adds a <i>sense of depth to the image</i>. Another plate of glass is put over the fragile emulsion side to protect it &amp; the whole was mounted in a metal frame and kept in a protective case.This protected the image well but tends to darken it. Ambrotypes were sometimes hand-tinted,and done masterfully,can be spectacular.</p><p>PS- A &#039;Ruby Ambrotype&#039; is created by using a dark reddish-colored glass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
