More darkroom trickery using Lithographic film, the very high contrast material used in the news paper and other such printing industries. The original negative was enlarged onto a piece of Lith film. This is only about 1/8 th of the original 35 mm. negative !!! The resulting Lith positive was contact printed onto another piece of Lith to give a totally black and white negative. There are NO mid tones at all. The negative was then printed onto Multigrade at Grade 5 - hard - to give this soot and whitewash result. Published several times, this has been a successful trick picture. It does look very strong on an exhibition wall, but it is a very good job that he had a 'fag' in his mouth !
