Fine Art Albumen: A third process, photolithography, was perfected by Alphonse Louis Poitevin in 1855. He discovered that lated colloids, in addition to becoming relatively ible upon exposure to light, also accepted greasy :t:r.:er's ink in the unexposed areas only and rejected• .ter in those exposed. He coated a grained lithographic•t.ne with bichromated albumen, exposed it beneath a negative, washed away the unhardened albumen and fitted it from the stone on a conventional lithograph press. He sold the process to the Parisian lithographer Rose Joseph Lemercier, who produced superb reproductions of works of art, particularly of architecture and •cjlpture, by its means. A variation, collotype, gave prints. quisite tonal quality and exceedingly fine art albumen grain.Although albumen plates never became universally popular, remarkable architectural photographs were made with them, such as the series of fine art albumen views of Paris taken on glass plates by Henri Plaut and Francois Auguste Renard in 1852 and printed by H. Fontenoy at his Paris "Imprimerie Photographique."
