Excerpt from Practical Slide Making
The aim of the present small volume is to supply in a concise form reliable information of all the best known methods for the production of lantern slide transparencies. At the present time many excellent lantern slide processes have fallen into desuetude and are seldom heard of, but it is hoped that their inclusion here will lead to enthusiastic workers resuscitating them on their; own behalf. Tothis end special care has been exercised in the preparation of the chapters dealing with such neglected processes as collodion (wet and dry) and collodio-aumen, in order that anyone who may be tempted to use them can at the outset be in possession of reliable formulae.
