Overview

Salted paper, albumen, silver gelatin, or other photographic prints made by exposure to a coating on a glass or film support, through which lines have been drawn or areas scraped away. Alternatively, inks can be applied to a transparent matrix in varying thicknesses to alter the amount of light reaching the sensitized paper. May resemble drawings or prints.
