Commentary
Accident at the Front: At a corner of the road leading to Cassino from the north, a jeep and an ambulance, both riddled with shrapnel, are “piled up.” Enemy shells burst amid the wreckage all around the crashed vehicles. Reports from Cassino indicate that the months-long stalemate on this front may be at an end, with the Allies smashing forward in a three-pronged drive designed to outflank German troops at Cassino, April 1, 1944.

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.
