- Description
- Empty cardboard box of Kokak Solio Toning and Fixing Powder cartridges with manufacturer and product details printed throughout the white box in red and black. Toning powders were chemical compounds designed to react with the emulsion layers of positive photographs that altered the tone (or colour) of the image, usually turning a standard black-and-white image into warmer shades of red, brown, and/or purple - sepia is a very common tone. Additionally, toning powders could be combined with a fixing agent that stabilized the emulsion layer to prevent it breaking down or fading, flaking off, or otherwise ruining the image as it set.

- Description
- A Kodak darkroom matting easel that can accommodate paper up to 11x14” in size. Darkroom easels [also called darkroom frames] are used during development to enlarge photographs - they hold the paper flat under the adjustable metal frame and keep the paper properly framed. The easel consists of a wooden base with a raised metal frame around the perimeter - along two sides are wider metal pieces with ruler marks along them. Overlapping in the middle of the board are two adjustable metal pieces that lie flat against the wood. On the left-hand short side is a short metal arm with a spring that can be hooked onto the frame to lift it off the board.
