Forty Centuries of Ink: Or, A chronological narrative concerning ink and its backgrounds, introducing incidental observations and deductions, parallels of time and color phenomena, bibliography, chemistry, poetical effusions, citations, anecdotes and curiosa together with some evidence respecting the evanescent character of most inks of to-day and an epitome of chemico-legal ink.
Carvalho, David Nunes
Ink
The employment of complementary color screens
has made it possible to photograph colors which formerly
indicated no contrast with white back grounds
in the negative and later in the finished picture.
This discovery has destroyed the value of "safety"
papers, based on complete tints or possessing colored
lines or words.
"IN MANUSCRIPT.
"The rain storm wields a noisy pen
Adown the pane,
Wet splashes leaving, blots of strange white ink,
Blunders of rain.
"And yet no poems of ecstatic men,
Olympic faced,
Could be as wonderful as these, I think,
In cipher traced."
--ISABELLE HOWE FISKE.
