  3. How a negative is produced • Paper is submerged into a weak solution of salt and water. Making paper sensitive to light. • Paper is brushed with silver nitrate on one side. • Paper is then placed into camera while still moist and exposure is made. • The paper is then treated with a developing chemical to bring out the image. • The image would be fixed, washed and left to dry.

  4. How to get prints using the negative • Printing paper was soaked in a solution of table salt and then brushed on one side with a silver nitrate solution. • This paper was placed under the negative, sandwiched under glass and placed in bright light. • Within 15 minutes there was a visible image on the print paper.

  7. Pictorialism • Is an approach to photography that emphasizes beauty of subject matter, and composition rather than the documentation of reality. • Pictorial photographs lack a sharp focus and may have visible brush strokes or other manipulation such as printing the image in other colors other than black and white. • Pictorialist believe photographing ways a tool they could use to convey emotional intent into viewer’s realm of imagination. • Pictorialism was a thriving movement from 1885 to about 1915. This movement started out by responding to clams that a photograph was nothing more than a simple record of reality. • Pictorialism turned into a international movement to advance the status of all photography as a true art form.
