The photographs in Emerson's first and finest album, Life andLandscape on the Norfolk Broads (1886), were printed on the newly invented platinotype paper.
Also called platinotype. The platinum process produces an image by depositing actual platinum crystals in the paper, the texture of which becomes integral to the print. Platinum prints are more stable than silver prints, but more costly.
Examples: antitype, archetype, prototype, stereotype, and terms for various printing processes or impressions: autotype, calotype, chryssotype, collotype, cyanotype, electrotype, ferrotype, logotype, phonotype, phototype, platinotype, stereotype, ...
