Title: antique photo on silk
Post by: mcw on March 05, 2021, 12:00:29 pm

I have an antique photo on silk.  It appears to be  1910s.  Was photo transfer available back then?

Yes the technology was being used in the mid 1800`s !  So 1910 is very likely !

That is really cool. I don't think I've ever seen a silk like that! The clothing of the ladies definitely fits into a 1910s time period, when those white shirtwaists were very popular.

Try searching for the app. There are apps that take or scan photos and use apps to turn black and white images into color.
