Kallitype over Silver Geletin prints

[Davec101]

I have been doing some research for an article that i am writing and came across an artist called Boris Savelev, from what I understand he is printing a kallitype over a silver geletin print, I have never heard of this, I will be taking a look at some these prints next week at the gallery that represents him, the results are said to be stunning. Anyone else had any experience with this process?

Scans of the images can be found here:

Cool. I love his images. It would be interesting to know if he is using a matt or glossy paper paper. It seems it would be difficult to get the sensitizer to absorb into a glossy paper.

Interesting indeed; but frankly, I don't get the point... Maybe reproductions aren't enough, I should see the prints in person to appreciate the results.

I remember someone doing pt/pd and/or kallitype on fixed s/g papers - actually two; one was Christian Nze IIRC. See the achives, you may catch something. I've read it here, not somewhere else...
