A collotype--a beautiful, delicate nineteenth century form of image making--is an inked print pulled from a gelatine surface. Seven artists in the Visual Arts department of SUNY Purchase chose one of his photographs for this project. Some photos were taken expressly for this work; some are earlier. They represent a range of artistic expression. Collotypes printed by Jim Frank; letterpress by Leonard Seastone.
