When I grew up as a teenager in the 1930's, my father exposed his
photographic prints in the sunlight in the window. I don't think he used a
fixer and simply washed them, but I am not sure on that. The prints were
brown and of good quality. It seems to have been a common process at the
time.
I am trying to find the name of the process.
On the internet, I came across the names of "gum bichromate"and "salt
paper", but I think these were much earlier processes. "Cyanotype", I think,
makes blue prints.
Any help?
