Collodion is a flammable, syrupy solution of pyroxylin (a.k.a. nitrocellulose, cellulose nitrate, flash paper, and gun cotton) in ether and alcohol. There are two basic types: flexible; non-flexible. The flexible type is often used as a surgical dressing or to hold dressings in place.
The collodion negative was most commonly printed on albumen paper. Talbotâs Calotypes (paper negatives) preceded collodion. For over thirty years, from the 1850s to the 1880s, the wet plate collodion process was the most commonly practiced photographic method around the world. Itâs important to note that the only way you could be called a âphotographerâ was to make negatives and beautiful prints.
