I have had a couple of questions about the process used in the Direct-Positive
photo booth in the 1930s, and realize that few are familiar with this process.
I searched for a couple of examples that I could share. You must realize that
these are seventy-year-old images, and originally sold "4 for a dime".
The photographer, posing for a camera checkout:

The photographer's son, always happy to pose:

These are shown in actual size. The first photo was sharpened slightly, but I
decided to post the second one with no help at all from PhotoShop.
Comments are welcomed.
