The text on the back of Bayard´s photo differs to the one shown in the french version of this subject. Revision needed.

Lace glove

Is this image Bayard's? Dated circa 1840. Seems fishy to me, definitely interesting if it was really one of his works. OrganicEarth (talk) 00:51, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Self portrait as a drowned man

Anybody good with formatting? The Verso text appears in the wrong section.TerryToogood (talk) 17:36, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The description of the process differs from that given in Historic Camera, which follows:

The process itself was relatively straightforward. First, the paper was treated with sodium chloride. After drying, the paper was submerged in silver nitrate to create silver chloride, which is sensitive to light. The paper was then exposed to light until it turned black, washed, dried, and then stored in a portfolio until needed. Before the paper could be used, it had to be saturated in potassium iodide, placed into the camera, and then received light exposure. After being treated in sodium thiosulfate and placed in a bath of ammonia and water, a positive photographic image would appear on the paper.
