Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students are acquainted with the technological and chemical bases of historical photographic processes with an emphasis on the issue of the degradation factors of those technologies, The aim is to expand, as well, the knowledge of the students, exploitable for selecting appropriate restoration and conservation procedures.
Mode of study
The course will be instructed through lectures and exercise, and if possible, as well with the use of the lecture steps of professionals in historical photography technique.
Prerequisites and co-requisites
none
Course contents
The course content is the beginnings of photochemistry and photographic chemistry; heliography, daguerrotype, salt paper, calotype (talbotype), albumin paper, wet collodion process, materials based on gelatine photograph emulsion, sensitive ferrous salts (calitype, VanDyke, cyanotye?) positive materials based on natural polymer curing (so called noble prints - pigment print, flexography, oil prints, bromoil print, collotype?); color photograph material.
