The albumen print, also called albumen silver print, is a method of producing a photographic print using egg whites. Published in January 1847 by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, it was the first commercial process of producing a photo on a paper base from a negative, previous methods - such as the daguerreotype and the tintype - having been printed on metal. It became the dominant form of photographic positives from 1855 to the start of the 20th-century, with a peak in the 1860–90 period. During the mid-19th-century, the carte de visite became one of the more popular uses of the albumen method. In the 19th-century, E. & H. T. Anthony & Company were the largest makers and distributors of albumen photographic prints and paper in the United States.
