Platinum prints are characterized by their delicate surface and subtle tonal gradations. They are made by sensitizing paper with iron salts and exposing the paper in contact with a negative until a faint image has formed. The paper is then chemically developed in a process that replaces the iron salts with platinum and intensifies the image. Platinum prints were popular with art photographers around the turn of the twentieth century, but when World War I caused the price of platinum to rise, palladium (a related metallic element) was introduced as a more affordable substitute.

my schools making me watch this, thank you scool very cool
how art is wonderful, how to take care of art is beautiful
Yes, indeed. Glad you enjoyed the series. Be sure to tell your friends. Thanks, Matt
I fully agree
Awesome. How much cost these days prints like this. Any examples of these techniques of artwork in the modern days?
once again, awesome, thanks for this series.
I fully agree
A high quality silver gelatin fiber print is so much sharper than Platinum prints.
So, what? Sharpness does not guarantee a compelling photo. Many famous works of art aren't sharp at all. Fine Art is often abstract.
Found it... Elias Goldensky, 'Portrait of Three Women,' ca. 1915. Platinum print.
That first picture of the reed cutters somewhere in East Anglia is fantastic, does any one know who made it?
It was created by Peter Henry Emerson, "Coming Home from the Marshes" 1886. It really is a magnificent photograph.

@@silekiernanphotography Thanks for that link, wonderful stuff. That late 19th century realist art was and still is very interesting.
I fully agree
The image can rust over time if it wasn't cleared right at the start.
Platinum is a pure metal which doesn’t rust because it doesn’t contain iron. Platinum doesn’t rust, corrode, tarnish, or change color. Fact.
@@TheStockwell - Please reread my comment above, I think you didn't understand it based on your comment here.
It's no necessarily a correct assumption as the woman says that if you see a brushed on emulsion it is a platinum print.The way the print paper in photography was made before mass production was you painted on the emulsion to the paper.All emulsions not just ones with platinum, any other
metals used in photographic paper was brushed on.They also brushed emulsions on glass plates used by cameras which used the plates.
But it is cool to see the brushed on emulsion! I've seen both on paper and glass.
Not a big deal, but: no - glass plate emulsion was applied by carefully *pouring* it on the plate, not brushing it on.
Wonderful series. Does anyone know the name of the photographer who took the image of the three women at around 2:18?
i believe it was Joe
