Paper on Lippmann Photography


The True Colour of Photography

by Hans Bjelkhagen and Darran Green


It is possible to record modern Lippmann photographs without using a mercury reflector. Instead the Fresnel reflection between the emulsion and air is sufficient, with the plate located in a special dark slide.  This makes it much more practical (and safer) to record modern Lippmann photographs including large plates. 

Chapter 2 in the Ultra-Relistic Imaging book idevoted to Lippmann photography with  detailed information about old and modern Lippmann photography.
