  bromoil process - Method
The Bromoil Process was an early photographic process that was very popular with the Pictorialists during the first half of the twentieth century.
Rawlins published a 1904 article on the oil print process, E.J. Wall in 1907 described theoretically how it should be possible to use a smaller negative in an enlarger to produce a silver bromide positive, which should then be bleached and hardened, to be inked afterwards as in the oil process.
Bromoil prints are a direct variety of this process: One starts with a normally developed print on a silver bromide paper which is then chemically bleached and hardened.

 BROMOIL - the way I make 'em.
Usable bromoils were produced in 1907, and the process was improved and simplified by a number of practitioners.
After all the bromoil process was quite time-consuming, the silver processes known today improved significantly and the so-called pictorial photography that bromoilists cherished had really got out of style.
A bromoil is simply a silver print, the silver image has been bleached away and the gelatine in the emulsion has been hardened in the bleaching process in proportion to the amount of silver bleached away.

 The Process
The pigment control processes were considered by the critics and the leading pictorial photographers in America and Europe as the most beautiful form of artistic expression from the early 1900's until the late 1930's.
The oil, bromoil and transfer processes reigned supreme and Robert Demachy of France and Leonard Misonne of Belgium were considered to be the greatest photographic artists of their day working in the pigment processes.
Simply stated, a bromoil print is a silver bromide or chlorobromide photograph from which the silver is removed and a stiff pigment substituted.

 State of the Art: Bromoil with the Master
Bromoil seems simple and direct—no need to make enlarged internegatives, for one thing—and that was partly why I was inspired to try it myself some years ago.
The other thing about bromoil that appealed to me, and this was long before the advent of photo-quality inkjet output, is that it replaces the silver image on a conventional fl-and-white printing paper with ink—the same ink used by printmakers, lithographers in particular, for their work.
My complaint about the bromoil work being done today is that in terms of content it’s often not much different than it was in its Pictorialist heyday, with pastoral and woodsy scenes—images that contain no indication that they were made in our time.

 Bromoil Process
The Bromoil Process was a favorite of the Pictorialist photographers of the early 1900s, mainly because of its soft, painterly look and the freedom of expression it gave the artist.
A Bromoil print starts as a silver gelatin fl and white photograph that is bleached and “tanned” until only a very faint image remains on the paper.
The freedom of expression of the process comes from the artist’s approach to inking the matrix; which brush and inks are used, and how the brushes and matrix are handled.

 Bromoil
With the bromoil process, detail is often lost in delicate high values (and sometimes in deep shadows of the image)--if the photograph relies heavily on those values to work it will probably not make a good bromoil (or maybe it will take a master bromoilist to pull it off).
This is because the bromoil process tends to increase contrast.
With non-superhardened true bromoil papers, such as Bergger Brom 240, JandC Bromoprint, or David Lewis Bromoil paper, when adequately soaked you may be able to see the gelatin in relief, as the unhardened portions of the gelatin swell more than the hardened portions.

After drying overnight, the paper is bleached and tanned - the tanning process hardens the emulsion relative to the amount of exposure received.
The areas that received less light during exposure were hardened less during the tanning process, thus the swelling of the gelatin rejects the ink to a greater degree than the areas which received more exposure.
The Van Dyke process requires that paper be coated with a sensitizer, then contact printed under ultraviolet light.

There are so many variables in the bromoil process, that it is almost impossible for any two bromoilists to follow exactly the same procedure.
Virtually any silver gelatin paper could be utilized in the early days of bromoil, but in the 1920’s manufacturers began to superharden the gelatin in their papers as well as make papers with very smooth, glossy surfaces.
With non-superhardened true bromoil papers, such as Bergger Brom 240, JandC Bromoprint, or David Lewis Bromoil paper, you may be able to see the gelatin in relief as the unhardened portions of the swell more than the hardened portions.
