The orotone process came into use around 1880, and derives its name from the gold color of the print. Various processes have been used over the years to produce orotones, but they all usually consist of a positive image printed on clear glass and backed by a gold color.
I have done my best to scan the image accurately. However, these are difficult to represent online and really should be seen in person. Viewing the image through the glass gives an almost 3D effect with some images.
Each orotone plate is printed on clear glass and backed with gold paint. The plates are named, dated, and signed on the back. They are also numbered. Each one is this gallery is the first plate I've printed of the image, so all are Number 1. These aren't editioned, because each plate is completely handmade and one of a kind. Because of the handmade nature of these plates, each may have some small flaws, but these are almost always around the edges of the plate, and will be mostly covered if you frame the plate.
The printed image is "behind" the glass and so is protected by the glass. Cover glass is not required when framing, and should the plate get dusty, the front of the plate can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
The image you see here is a scan of the actual plate your are purchasing so if there are any edge defects you can see them in the scanned image.
