<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 48758, member: 56"]Well... the sphereotype specifically refers to "a positive collodion picture, taken upon glass". The paragraph before that talks about using pressure to shape a plate over a curved surface. I did leap to the silly conclusion that that would not be a glass plate, but perhaps you know better. The purpose of both techniques (and I am reading them as 2 differing techniques) is to give each picture a "spherical" appearance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
