This is a Carbon Print. Autotype blue tissue being transferred to Strathmore 2-ply smooth paper. Final print was made from a transparency rather than from a negative. This positive was secured by enlarging a small portion of a 35mm negative on Commercial Matte, developing in D-72 for about normal time. The scene is in the dust-bowl area of West Texas, near Lamesa. Picture taken with a Perfex 35mm camera with an f2.8 lens. Plus X film exposed thru a Wratten K-2 filter and developed in Eastman DK-20.
