Continuing to print the plates from the boxes of old dry plates I bought at the international photo fair in Bièvre. This is a very nice portrait. The print itself is probably overexposed, I have to get back to it and reduce the exposure time. But the highlights on the face looks good to me on this one.

This is a cyanotype print of an old silver gelatin dry plate. I really love to shop these old plates and discover some scenery from the early 20th century. They are very often in very good preservation state and completely usable. the contact print gives a very good level of details and it’s a pleasure to watch such picture. Probably not an original statement, but each picture is definitely like a time capsule.
