- Title
THE HURTER AND DRIFFIELD ACTINOGRAPH.
- Abstract
The article discusses the development of the Hurter and Driffield Actinograph in England. Gelatin-bromide dry plates, which allow photographers to capture snapshots with hand-held cameras as well as purchase ready-made plates, have been used for photography in the 1870s. However, it was found that exposures could impact negatives. Then in 1888, Ferdinand Hurter and Vero C. Driffield, who believed that there could be some way to solve the problem, patented the Actinograph. Both have also used the Actinometer in assessing the strength of daylight. Information on how Hurter and Driffield conducted their study and the use of the Actinograph is mentioned.
