Salt paper was the most widely used paper-based photographic process for producing positives (from paper negatives) from 1839 until the 1860s.
This is an essential moment in the history of photography.
This paper is based on silver nitrate, a metallic salt with very low light sensitivity. When silver nitrate is mixed with cooking salt, silver chloride is formed, which is much more sensitive to light.
When exposed to light, silver chloride transforms into silver to produce beautiful shades of brown.
