How It's Made: Carbon Transfer Print on Gold Leaf

The carbon transfer process dates back to the late 19th century. Most often prints are made on paper, but in this case the print was made directly on gold leaf. The photo in this video was taken by Arun Patel. Visit www.thewetprint.com for more information about this process.

frustrating that the key moment of image transfer was not recorded..unless that is deliberate?

[@carbonprint]

Nope, just doing too many things at once and didn't press record.
