factor to consideris its marvelous latitude of quality—a slight variation in themanipulation giving a wonderfully soft print or an abnormallyhard and snappy one. To one unfamiliar with the processthis extreme latitude is almost unbelievable. It is simply amatter of exposure and the absence of any or varying quanti-ties of a potassium bichromate solution in the developer.Prints can be obtained that are really not possible by any othersprinting method. The copy of the red chalk sketch is a goodexample. The artist that made this had never previously hadany satisfactory photographic copies made of her work. KalH-type prints solved the problem and gave just the effect andquality desired. The original sketch is in red chalk on a yellowish-brownpaper. A silver print or any of the usual commercial medi-ums have a flat and dead effect, but the kallitype gives allthe brilliancy and snappiness desired from a very ordinarynegative, a Stanley plate being used, and no color screen. 182 .,/■■
