Gelatin Silver Print

1870s–present

After being introduced in the 1870s, gelatin silver printing grew to dominate amateur and professional photography for a century. Commercially produced, gelatin silver paper contains a layer of silver salts suspended in gelatin above the paper, and over the years versions with a variety of surfaces and contrast ranges have been made available. Gelatin silver prints are recognized for their crisp blacks and whites and the sharpness of their images.
