Untitled[edit]

In my formatting I've cut out some of the pleasantries as well as the author's credits, as I did not think that an author was supposed to credit him/herself in the text; if I have overedited, my apologies, feel free to let me know on my talk page. (Booyabazooka 23:59, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC))

NOT Sir William Herschel[edit]

The inventor is actually his son, 'Sir John Herschel.' Sir William Herschel died before the process was even invented.

plagearism?[edit]

Picture[edit]

I added a picture and some remarks to clarify the process. I created this picture using the anthotype process.

I added some more in Wikimedia. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Anthotypes

Protection of anthotypes[edit]

If an anthotype is sensitive only to blue and ultraviolet, is it possible to make it last forever by keeping under a deep yellow filter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.190.56.89 (talk) 07:28, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as far as I know the sensitivity depends on the material. So different colors may be sensitive for different wavelengths. If you use a yellow filter, it may avoid fading for many anthotypes for a long time. In my experience, it also depends on huminidy.

--- It would be good to include old pictures from the beginning and replace one or two of my own pictures. They saved the pictures in darkness, and I did the same. I made them just for illustration using the same process. --Hutschi (talk) 20:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)Hutschi[reply]
