then sep-arated therefrom under water, the blueprint will appear de-veloped and also the same picture will show on the silver pa-per, that is if a positive or a negative both pictures will bepositive or negative respectively. The chemical action is thatthe blueprint sensitized paper acts only on those parts of thesilver paper where the light has converted the potassium fer-rocyanide into potassium ferricyanide, which reduces the sil-ver haloid and produces the reduced silver picture while at thesame time the blueprint is being formed. Silver Prints in Natural Colors The picture is obtained on P. O. P. by only printing a posi-tive from a positive colored transparency, without any devel-oping agent at all in the following manner: A piece of soliopaper for instance which will give very good results, or col-lodion paper is printed on under a colored transparency, suchas a colored lantern slide or a colored Decalcomanie for per-haps twenty-four hours in daylight—somewhat more or less 120

Thiswill only take some minutes and the printing can be observedcontinually until the desired effect is obtained, that is: a pic-ture with the same colors as the original transparency
