Summary
The albumen silver print is a photographic printing process that was widely used in the 19th century. It involves coating paper support with a mixture of egg whites and salt, which creates a glossy surface to hold light-sensitive silver salts. The paper is then sensitized in a solution of silver nitrate, and exposed in a camera or under a negative. After exposure, the print is developed in a solution of gallic acid and silver nitrate, which reduces the silver salts to metallic silver and creates the final image. The albumen print process was widely used for commercial and fine art photography in the 19th century and produced high-quality, detailed images with a distinctive glossy finish.
Louis Emile Durandelle was a French photographer who lived from 1839 to 1917. He is best known for his architectural photography, particularly of Parisian buildings and monuments. Durandelle worked closely with his partner, Maxime Du Camp, and together they produced a large number of photographs of Paris in the late 19th century. Many of their images were used in publications and exhibitions and are now considered important historical documents. Durandelle was also an early pioneer of the dry-plate process, which allowed photographers to take pictures more quickly and accurately than ever before. Despite his significant contributions to the field of photography, Durandelle remains relatively unknown today.
