Release by Trans Photographic Press of Fort de Saint Cyr by Martin Becka.
Martin Becka is a specialist and expert in pioneering photography techniques, notably that of Gustave LE GRAY: the dry waxed paper negative (1851). This set of images is the result of a commission from the Médiathèque du Patrimoine et de la Photographie: to give carte blanche to photograph the place where incunable works of heritage have been kept since the origin of photography. He thus produced images in the 20 x 25 cm chamber, on light weight laid paper negative. The positive images are palladium contact prints, some are mixed with other pigment techniques such as gum dichromate.
