Sylvie Pénichon All Books: Color Photographs sku-24746505

Sylvie Pénichon’s Twentieth-Century Color Photographs: Identification and Care is a paperback in All Books, listed as sku-24746505. More than 150 years after color photography was invented, many photographs made with older processes remain in museums, archives and personal collections. This illustrated book explains the history and technology of major traditional color processes.

After a chapter on nineteenth-century color photography, seven chapters cover additive color screen, pigment, dye imbibition, dye coupling, dye destruction, dye diffusion, and dye mordanting and silver toning. They address materials, identification and common forms of deterioration. A final chapter covers collection management, storage and preservation.

The book also includes a glossary and chronologies for Kodachrome and Ektachrome transparencies, Cibachrome/Ilfochrome printing materials and Instant films. It is intended for students, instructors and people who care for color photograph collections.
