[The] gelatin silver print ... process has remained largely unchanged since it was introduced in the 1880s. Paper is coated with gelatin that holds light-sensitive silver halide paticles. Light shone through a negative strikes the paper, activating the silver particles. The paper is placed in a chemical developing solution that allows the transformed silver particles to be seen by the human eye as black, white, and all the gray tones in between. 1, record 2, English, - gelatin%20silver%20print
