Description
A photographic printing-out paper developed in the 1880s. Silver gelatin paper were used for black and white prints. They predominated the photographic market through the 1960s when color processes became popular. Silver gelatin paper can still be purchased in photographic stores in matte, glossy, and textured formats. The paper contains a gelatin emulsion with a silver bromide salt. The sensitivity of the paper allowed the photographers to make contact prints and enlargements with artificial light. The prints may fade, yellow, or develop a dark iridescent appearance with age.
