The albumen print

[Watchful]

The albumen print, also called albumen silver print, was published in January 1847 by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, and was the first commercially exploitable method of producing a photographic print on a paper base from a negative. It used the albumen found in egg whites to bind the photographic chemicals to the paper and became the dominant form of photographic positives from 1855 to the turn of the 20th century, with a peak in the 1860-90 period. During the mid-19th century, the carte de visite became one of the more popular uses of the albumen method. In the 19th century, E. & H. T. Anthony & Company were the largest makers and distributors of the Albumen photographic prints and paper in the United States.

Are you aware using someone else's text as if it is your own is not cool?

Are you assuming that I didn't add that text to wiki? Do you know how wiki works? Please go and edit it if you find anything incorrect. Thanks so much for your comments.

Yes.
I do know how Wikipedia works, because I submit information to Wikipedia from time to time.

Most recently I provided information for this page since I work for the Iowa State Historical Society at that historic site.
I've made other references here on TPF regarding my involvement with the Matthew Edel Blacksmith Shop.

Wikipedia staff wrote all the text on that page using information and references I provided Wikipedia.

Note the date the page was last updated was last month:
"This page was last modified on 4 March 2016, at 17:25."
That is actually the date the page first appeared on Wikipedia.
Note the dates references 2 & 3 were retrieved.

We were hoping the page would be up before the season starts Memorial day weekend. The shop is only open to the public from Memorial day weekend to Labor day.

Ok, that's great, we need more people willing to do that. Thank you.
