Orotone
(Gold Tone On Glass) featuring Abraham Lincoln in a side view. This great image measures 7" wide by 9 5/8" long. These scarce images were produced in the late 1800's and are extremely hard to find! This particular image is unsigned on front and I don't want to open the back of the frame.  .  The glass image itself is in excellent shape and has no chips, cracks or scratches. Just a great goldtone image of Lincoln that shows wonderful detail!
Outstanding Condition... Everything on the 19th c Walnut wood framing is tight and very well constructed, has a outstanding historic patina with minor discoloration to the gold leaf ...

Double Spiral", orotone print by Sally Larsen, 1983
An
orotone
or
gold tone
is one of many types of
photographic
print which can be made from a negative. An orotone photograph is created by printing a positive on a glass plate precoated with a
silver gelatin
emulsion
. Following exposure and development, the back of the plate is coated with
banana oil
impregnated with gold-colored pigment, to yield a gold-toned image. Alternatively, the developed glass plate can be gold-leafed by hand with 23-karat gold leaf. Being printed on glass, orotone images are extremely fragile and often require specialized frames in order to prevent breakage. Other types of prints can be made with the same negative used to make an orotone. Consequently, silver gelatin prints and
platinotypes
(platinum and palladium prints) are also made by those who produce orotone prints.
