Old Family Photographs Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with identifying a particular photo process from around 1900 - 1910. We acquired some pictures that are around 24X30 that seem to have a black residue on them that smudges when touched. I'd like to identify the process used so I know how to better preserve them. Thank you so much for any information you can provide. Amie :)

Hi Amie, I checked with a conservator. She said they might be "Crayon Portraits". Materials were used on top of a photograph as a hand finish. Thanks, John Siskin
