How to check the authenticity of photographs
David Rudd explains how to judge the authenticity of photographs and how they are identified. Some good hints for buyers who want to get sure about a picture they are interested in at an auction or in a gallery. It's really getting philosophically. An important theory of truth in the middle age said truth is the analogy of an assertion and the facts. So the description of a photo should be approved by the material as a vintage, a modern print or as printed later. David Rudd explains how to examine a picture by the aid of a microscope or a strong magnifier "to distinguish a photograph from a photomechanical print". You'll also find some information about historic photographic processes.
