heliotype
A heliotype is a type of photographic process that was used in the past. It was invented in the 19th century and involves the use of glass plates that are sensitized with a special kind of gelatin. These are then exposed to light through a photographic negative in order to create a photographic print. The term "heliotype" is derived from the Greek words for "sun" and "impression", reflecting the role of sunlight in the process.
