Commentary
Tireless fighters defending Stalingrad: Their backs against a crumpled ruin, a Soviet gun crew fires at enemy forces advancing on Stalingrad. One day after the Nazis boasted the city would be taken, the Red forces turned the tide of battle, April 1943.
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.
