Prints Drying

After a long washing the prints are hung from clips to dry. Prints
that are almost dry can be sandwiched between sheets of mat board or
other absorbent material and placed under pressure so they dry flat.
If the prints are too dry, the backs can be moistened lightly.

I wish I had a picture like this ... ;-) I agree with Mary - what memories. I still have a pull-out line which runs over the bathtub in the 'guest' bathroom, complete with a half dozen clips or so. Now, they dry the processed film only. No more darkroom for prints. (For now).

Those were the days. I can smell them from here. ;-)
