A multiple oil print transfer. Autotype double transfer paper was sensitized and exposed thru a copy negative for the oil print. This oil print was inked with Indianapolis Bromoil Equip. Co. 'brown' pigment, and transferred to a blue-gray water color paper. Five printings, three of them only partial printings, were made.

Picture made on the Guadalupe River, using a Zeiss Juwel and Super XX Film pack. A Pan-Ortho filter used. Negative was developed in Edwald 12, 9 to 1 dilution. An enlarged film positive (11x14 in.) was made by projection on Commercial film. From this positive, a negative was made, by contact, on the same material. Considerable work was done on both the positive and on the negative, especially in eliminating the hills and brush in the background behind the group of trees - and in opening up the brush in the middle-ground to the right.

From this enlarged negative, a Palladium print was made. This Palladium print was then copied on 6.5x8.5 in. Ortho-X to secure the final negative from which the oil print was made.
