Gelatin Silver Print

A Gelatin Silver Print is a traditional photographic print made using a sensitive gelatin emulsion coated onto paper. During the darkroom process, an image is created by exposing the paper to light through a negative, then developing it with chemicals that make the image visible and durable. This method was the standard for black-and-white photography from the late 19th century through the 20th century, prized for its fine detail, rich contrast, and archival stability. It is valued by collectors and photographers for its craftsmanship and the expressive qualities it can achieve in monochrome images.
