In 1871, Richard Leach Maddox developed the first practical dry plate negativeprocess. Maddox's technique involved fixing a light-sensitive gelatin emulsionto a glass plate. The plate was then allowed to dry before it was exposed inthe camera. The dry plate process featured many of the same steps as the wetplate process but utilized different sensitizing, fixing and developmentsolutions. The dry plate photographic technique was used from the 1870s untilthe first quarter of the twentieth century, when it was then surpassed in bothease and popularity by the gelatin silver paper negative and the gelatin silvernegative on celluloid roll film (Vail, 2002, p. 1).
