About Collotypes
Collotype is a dichromate-based photographic process invented by Alphonse Poitevin in 1856. It can produce results difficult to distinguish from metal-based photographic prints because of its microscopically fine reticulations which compose the image. It was first employed for fine art photography in the United States by Alfred Stieglitz.
