Royal Pair was made in 1951 by Henry Holmes Smith, one of the earliest experimenters with artistic use of photographic color process. This dye transfer print (the original is in color) began with photogram “negatives” of syrup on glass. The matrices made from these nonobjective glass plates were printed out of register to achieve the subtle blending of color.
