Excerpt from An Experimental Study of the Lippmann Color Photograph: A Dissertation
When so mounted the pictures are ready for observation. It is of extreme importance that they be observed by parallel light and shielded from all side light. The best conditions are given by a small opening in a wall facing a brilliant white sky. If the observer stands with his back to the opening and holds the picture at arm's length reflecting the sky it appears at its best.
These precautions are most necessary in the case of pictures of natural objects, for reasons which will appear later. Spectra and similar subjects, where the reflecting laminae are numerous and deep in the film, are visible much more easily, but are of course best seen under the conditions given above.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book positions Lippmannâs advancements in colour photography within the context of its historical development. By clarifying the theoretical principles and nuances of the Lippmann technique, the author presents a practical study of how to produce colour photographs with remarkable purity and resolution. The book examines the influence of factors such as film thickness and grain size on colour accuracy, and explores the possibilities and limitations of the process in capturing natural objects. By detailing the author's experimental methods and innovative substitutes for traditional equipment, such as their use of hydroquinone as a developer and a silver-celluloid mirror instead of mercury, this book provides a valuable resource for photographers seeking to master the intricacies of the Lippmann technique. Ultimately, the author's work in this field has enabled the creation of colour photographs that rival the beauty and accuracy of nature itself.
