Paris and Beyond: Fifty Years of Photographs 

From Paris to Route 66, we feature original gelatin silver prints individually handcrafted to museum-quality standards. We are often asked, “what is a gelatin silver print?” Good question!

The traditional gelatin silver photographic process dates back to the 1880’s. “Gelatin silver” refers to light-sensitive silver halides in a gelatin binder on a paper substrate. In a darkroom, the light-sensitive paper is exposed to light passing through a negative in an enlarger. The latent image is then “developed out” by a chemical process consisting of developer, stop bath, and fixer. A final process, toning and thorough washing, is completed for enhanced print appearance and archival permanence. Gelatin silver prints have been revered by collectors, galleries and museums for decades.
