Gevaert - museum

Post by titrisol »

From another photolist:
The Fomu Photo Museum in Antwerp, Belgium has digitized 1,300 photo paper packages and 70 hanging folders with information about the Gevaert photo paper as part of the Gevaert Paper Project.
This information can now be found on a special site:

This type of box is the one I remeber

I remember using some of these, out of their red boxes, too many years ago.

I feel I have asked this before, but I rememeber there was photographic paper made in Uruguay
It had its own brand which I cant recall, do you remember it?

Yes there was one, back in the 1960s or very early 70s. Don’t remember the brand now.

Ages ago we used quite some orange (red?) boxed Record-Rapid paper, when one required another touch than the usual but 'too neutral' tint of Ilford RC paper. And some Agfa Contour film too!

@Titrisol, yes, and now I remember that the brand was “Talbot”.

I remember using their paper for contact prints in 120 rolls, from box cameras, and also their enlargement types. It was not half bad.

Gracias!
It used to be sold by the same representative as AGFA in my town but it was cheaper, so as a student I bought many boxes of it.
It was very similar to Brovira and they had the texture that look like cloth that was loved for portraits in the late 80s.
