In the early 1800s, William Henry Fox Talbot produced the first ever paper photograph, and the technique that he used is called salt printing. Although it is relatively easy to create a salt image, this method produces an effect very difficult to reproduce using modern photo-graphic techniques. Talbot noted that slight variations in the proportions of the chemicals used led to a variety of tints and hues evident in the image. This, coupled with slight imperfections inevitable in silver nitrate coating, ensures that each salt print is unique. A salt print is formed by a process of soaking cleansed Canelletto Art paper in a salt solution, and then coating the sheet with a silver solution. The coated paper is then exposed to UV and then stabilized to create an aged looking image with a unique charm. Kit includes,10 sheets 8 x 10 Canelletto paper, 5 sheets 8 x 18 OHP Film, 1 x Buckle Brush, 250ml each of Salt Solution, Silver solution and stabilizers along with full instructions. PLEASE NOTE: Ammonia is required but it is NOT included. Ammonia can be purchased from most pharmacies,
