The Ferrotype process was developed by the French Adolphe Alexandre Martin (1824-1896) who was looking for a process to improve the work of plate engraving for printers
Like the ambrotype, the ferrotype uses a photosensitive base to the collodion. It is spread on an iron plate 0.15 mm thick that has previously been covered with black varnish.
Simple, fast, inexpensive, the Ferrotype was a huge commercial success and would last until the eve of the Second World War in Europe.
Like other types of black and white images, Ferrotypes can be enhanced with brush-applied colors by artisan photographers.
