All limited edition prints are fibre-based silver gelatin hand prints. There are two options available. One is black and white, the other thiocarbamide toned. Thiocarbamide is a form of sulphide toner which, after having bleached the original black and white image, “locks in” the silver content of the silver gelatin print making the image archivally stable up to and beyond 150 years. Thiocarbamide gives the image a yellow/brown warmth. Each print is hand printed by Masterprinter Robin Bell.
