Along with the limited edition prints, we also have a one-of-a-kind Carbro printed piece.

It is absolutely stunning.

This is incredibly unique, we have been informed the price to the general public is £24,000.

But, as ONGallery is acting as the agent for the Trust, no VAT is applicable, currently.

Once these works are added to our main sales website, we will be required to add VAT which will increase the price by 20%.

Time is of the essence if you want to take advantage of this though!

The principles of carbro printing were laid down in the 1860's. Because it is such a time-consuming process, it gradually lost popularity when other, more expedient processes became available.

It consists of making individually the elements of a highlight, mid-tone and shadow of a negative in a pigmented gelatin layer. Each of these layers are then combined in register to re- create the final image. This image, consisting of translucent layers, can be laid down on to various different substrates such as paper, metal or wood. The image exhibits a physical topographical relief which is more pronounced the smoother the substrate. The pigment used is charcoal which will never fade This archivability is further enhanced by the fact that there is no residual chemistry in the print, only gelatin and pigment. To make each print takes a total of some 2 days work spread over some 15 days. It should be pointed out that when a print is made onto an aluminium panel, this is not a paper print that is then mounted onto metal, but a photographic image that is created on the metal itself.

In the present times where digital prints such as ink-jet and lite–jet and lambda are easy to produce and therefore very common; we have seen, as with platinum prints, that prints made in Carbro have an 'added value' to collectors, and they are willing to invest in this. Because each print in an edition is individually crafted, there are subtle variations in them that make each a unique 'one-off'.
