Tirage platine-palladium Wikipedia
Le tirage platine-palladium est un procédé de tirage photographique. L'épreuve terminée est composée de platine et de palladium couchés sur un support en papier.
Un tirage platine-palladium est caractérisé par une large gamme de gris, l'image s'étendant sous la surface du papier.
Il durera autant que le papier qui le compose. Les tirages prennent un ton qui va du noir bleuté au brun chaud selon la proportion des composants ou les variations dans le procédé

While searching online for vintage photographs, one sometimes discovers albums that stand out for their rarity. I'm going to tell you about albums from the Getty Museum collection.
They were created by an unknown English photographer.
They are platinum prints, an expensive process that reached its peak precisely during the years these albums were created. Later, many years after, Irving Penn reused them.
Platinum-palladiumprint - Wikipedia
Platinum-palladium printing is a photographic printing process. The finished print consists of platinum and palladium coated on a paper base. A platinum-palladium print is characterized by a wide range of grays, as the image extends beneath the surface of the paper. It will last as long as the paper from which it is made. T
he prints take on a tone ranging from bluish-black to warm brown, depending on the proportions of the components or variations in the process.
But, in my opinion, what makes these photos even rarer is that 108 of them include complete information on the technique and materials used; a detailed description for each photograph, indicating the date (September 1889), the time, the lens, the aperture, the exposure time, the plate manufacturer, and the developer.
Photographs of European cathedrals and churches.
