Diptych. In the top photo, units of the U.S. First Army rest near a sea wall on Utah Beach at dawn on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The wounded wait to be evacuated. In the bottom photo, a young French couple enjoys the solitude of Utah Beach. The sea wall is the same as the one the tired soldiers leaned on, Normandy, May 3, 1969.

Technique
Ferrotyped prints are processed in such a way that they are shiny. The print has a sensitive surface, usually thinner, because it was put through a press while still wet.
Materials
Ferrotyped prints have a sensitive surface, usually shiny and thinner, because they are put through a press while still wet. Ferrotyping makes the surface of the photograph smoother. Light does not scatter as much on a smoother surface, so this increases contrast. That makes ferrotyped images better for press photography.
