Le procédé Rawlins à l'huile
A 1907 Paris photography manual by Émile Puyo, published by the Photo-Club de Paris, explaining the Rawlins oil printing process for photographers. The three plates are soft-focus photographs printed to resemble oil paintings: a rainy street scene with a figure carrying a basket, a misty landscape with a lone road and trees, and a close portrait of a young girl with a pale veil. A designer might take the diffused tonal range and painterly softness as a model for atmospheric, pictorialist imagery.
