Due to the handmade nature of both Silver and alt-process printing techniques every print is different. The choice of paper also has an effect on how the finished article looks. Any print commisioned therefore is non-returnable due to the time, effort and cost involved in its production.

The Vandyke brown print is based on the first iron-silver process, the argentotype, invented in 1842 by the English astronomer, Sir John Herschel. Both processes utilize the action of light on ferric salts and their chemistry is very similar. The Vandyke process gets its name from its similarity in color to the deep brown pigment used by the Flemish painter Van Dyck.
