Didn’t they know about white balance in the old days?:) Kidding…

A very interesting picture. It’s nice to see what kind of photos and how they were presented back then.

Below are cyanotypes I made in 1979. As I recall we used bleach in the final rinse which tends to eliminate a yellow cast. I think the color in this Thomas Smillie print is especially appealing and for all I know may have more to do with its age rather than a lack of bleach.
