COLORING PHOTOGRAPHS.
A very simple and easy way to color photographs, and one by which a person with little or no knowledge of painting can produce quite pleasing effects, is called the "Hallotype," from the name of the inventor, Mr. J. B. Hall.
The process consists in printing two paper positives from the same negative, rendering one transparent by the use of dammar varnish, and painting the other, and placing the transparent print over the painted one, and fastening them securely between two plates of glass.
To render the print transparent, after it has been toned and dried, lay it face down on a sheet of glass, and varnish with dammar varnish. This varnish can be bought ready prepared, or may be made of one ounce of dammar-gum dissolved in two ounces of spirits of turpentine. If one coat does not make the print transparent enough, apply a second when the first is dry. Be careful that the print, when drying, does not stick to the glass.
