The bromoil process, first devised in 1907 and now enjoying a revival, involves bleaching out the silver image from a conventional monochrome print and replacing it with an image formed from oily pigment. The process gives the photographer impressively "painterly" and atmospheric effects. The end product is a unique, unrepeatable work of art, which is even more durable than a silver print. This book describes the technique in step-by-step detail, assuming no previous knowledge on the reader's part. The process is not difficult, and no elaborate tools or materials are required. The book also introduces some other pigment-based processes, including bromoil transfer.

One of the best books on Bromoil,
By
This review is from: Bromoil: A Foundation Course (Paperback)
I have been practicing Bromoil since about 1996 and believe this is one of the best books to come up the pike in the last 10 years. It reviews the history of the process and gives many examples of off-shoot Bromoil methods since the process was first introduced in 1907. There are many photographs illustrating the process and gives methods to use in the current photographic climate, where many of the old photographic papers have gone by the wayside. I recommend it highly for old and new Bromoil workers.
