This postcard of St. Patrick’s Well, Clonmel, County Tipperary, was sent to an Irish emigrant in Philadelphia ca. 1905. It was printed in Saxony, Germany and published by the large firm of Woolstone Brothers of London as part of their Milton Series. The warm tones of this print are the result of a carbon process which really suits the natural subject matter. If you’d like to try carbon printing, here is a link to a project which uses the process and provides detailed instructions on the materials required.
Interesting process info detective, also great descriptions on lighting over on the PING PONG studio post. Could be a great class to give on portraiture. It would be like a treasure hunt. Great finds O.
Cheers Darragh, Thanks for re-posting on the gallery’s fb page. Hope Norway went well?
