Published by Blanquart-Evrard
Blanquart-Evrard first used albumen as a carrier for the photo-sensitivge salts on paper negatives. He then adapted the process to the usual method of making positives on plain salted paper, which created a bolder, deeper image than what could be obtained on contemporary matte salt papers.
In 1851, he opened an extablishment for the mass production of photographic prints, producing photographs by various artists lincluding Henri LeSecq and Charles Marville. (From exhibition label)
