The title of my current Book is Kallitype: The Processes and The History The book is a detailed report of the major kallitype processes described with sufficient particulars for modem photographers to apply and work. The book discusses Kallitype I, Kallitype II, Kallitype III, and the Brown Print, tracing the published history of the invention, and improvements of all significant historical contributors to the development of each process. The historical framework of the book documents the original invention and the sale of each of the four processes. It discusses the many published kallitype printmakers from 1890 to 1930 who wrote about their way of working the process. It includes process information from kallitype entrepreneurs. It reports the critical responses to the published processes of many kallitype artists. Their writing elucidates approaches to the various processes, provides principles which govern successful kallitype practice and inform s current printmaker s about causes of failure and their resolution. The book includes discussion of the social, techno logic al, and artistic milieu that led kalliltypists and many amateurs, to elevate photography from what it was-a basically reproductive medium-into a creative, expressive art characterized by media plasticity. The book attempts to enlighten why and how photography carne to be a pictorial art that displayed creative work heavily involved with radical manipulation of negative and print possibilities.
