English Negative-based Photographic Processes--Silver Nitrate Print Adoption

Photography in the late-19th century was dominated by the albumen process. This changed with the turn of the 20th century. Sigificamt adoption of the gelatin silver process and materials did not occur until the 1890s. Even so the Albumen process tended to dominate commercial photography (1890s). This meant both CDs and the increasingly popular cabinet cards. The earliest silver-nitate papers had no baryta layer. Only at the end of the century did the baryta coating become part pf the commercial process, first in Germany (1894) and then then America by Kodak (1900). It is at this time that silver-nitrate photography began to replace the albumen process (1900). In the new century we begin to see large numbers of silver-mitrate prints. They were done as postcard-back prints, studio potraits, and amateur photography, rapidly replacing albumen prints.
