I made my first Vandyke print this past week, and I really love it. Not even the fact it turned out well but I love the transformation from a photo taken in current time and simply changed within an hour to look like an old postcard. These alternative processes are so easy and completely change the photo. This process was "invented in 1842 by the English astronomer, Sir John Herschel. Both processes utilize the action of light on ferric salts and their chemistry is very similar. The Vandyke process gets its name from its similarity in color to the deep brown pigment used by the Flemish painter Van Dyck."
