<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4504873, member: 8267&quot;]It just occurred to me that if the Goodwill photo was an actual orotone, it would explain the reversal of the image. Typically, you print emulsion to emulsion. On paper, this results in a print image that is a reverse of the negative. With an orotone, the negative was printed onto a prepared piece of glass. The image was coated with a reflective metallic coating, and then flipped over, so you see the image through the glass. This would result in an image facing in the same direction as the original negative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the Goodwill photo was accurately described after all (despite my skepticism). I wouldn&#039;t want to pay over $1,000 without actually seeing it, though. Perhaps the buyer knew more than we do (or is a gambler).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
