Photography
Prow of the CAMPSA steamship Campiz. This photograph uses the technique of dye transfer, rare in photographic archives. This technique was commercialized by Kodak from 1946-1993, generally in the art and advertisement market. It allows for highly stable, high-quality colour copies. Images are obtained by transferring the ink from three matrixes onto a sheet of paper impregnated with gelatine. The three matrixes, carrying a yellow, cyan and magenta colouring solution, are placed in an exact position on the paper. When the ink is transferred, a coloured image is obtained.
