tlons OF gelatine and large proportion OF the
glass plates used are also coated with this
substance which because OF It's soft sticky nature.
Is particularly likely TO attract every atom o: dust
in the surrounding air. The particles. however
small, leave their impress in the form OF opaque
spots upon the sensitive surface and seriously mar
it's perfection. To remove the damaee. a great
amount OF retouchng is necessary which IL not

in photography is probably more easily injured by
dust than any other because extremely delicate
