It also includes information on the equipment and materials needed for the process, as well as tips and tricks for achieving the best results.In addition to the practical aspects of the oxymel process, the book also delves into the history and theory of photography. Delamotte discusses the development of photography as an art form and the various techniques that were used at the time. He also explores the scientific principles behind the oxymel process and how it compares to other photographic techniques.Overall, The Oxymel Process in Photography is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of photography or in exploring alternative photographic techniques.
