It sure looks like a selectively hand-coloured bromide, perhaps even chloride, print to me. As for being very glossy there are ways to get around the deglazing that would happen if an already glazed print was coloured. The yellow dye could be a waterproof ink wash applied to an unglazed print. When it dried the print could then be re-wet and glazed, giving a perfect gloss finish despite the retouching.
Sometimes a glazed fibre print could be retouched carefully enough, if it wasn't wet too much, that the surface could be buffed back to a good gloss, enough to make it almost undetectable. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) On 8 September 2011 08:35, Ann Sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > Another postcard from my friends family.. calling all chemists > > This is a very glossy photo - anyone know anything about this kind of > tinting back then?
