Gelatin Dry Plate

Glossary

A method of producing photographic negatives that emerged in the 1880s, using a glass plate coated with silver salts in a stable gelatin base. Offering portability and light-sensitivity long after the base is prepared, this technique replaced the collodion wet plate method and forms the chemical basis for most modern analog photography.
