Chrysotype is about photographic printing in gold on paper. This
19th century printing process, modified for contemporary use,
provides artists with an affordable way to produce permanent prints
in gold. By using film or digital negatives, striking hand-coated
prints can be created in monochromatic hues ranging from pink,
violet, magenta and purple, to green, blue, grey and black.
Chrysotype offers a how-to guide for intermediate practitioners
with illustrated examples and simple explanations for each stage of
the chrysotype process. The book is divided into three sections:
history; preparation and how-to; and the work of contemporary
artists using chrysotype. This book includes: A concise account of
the invention and modification of the chrysotype process, including
early discoveries about gold and colour and the significance of
moisture for printing in gold How to set up your workspace for
