Buckingham Fountain

3411 scanBuckingham Fountain in Grant Park in Chicago, Ill. Built in 1927, this is one of the largest fountains in the world. The fountain was donated to the city by Kate Buckingham in memory of her brother, Clarence Buckingham. The photo was taken in July of 1982 with a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35 mm SLR equipped with a 55 mm f/1.7 Prinz Auto Rexatar lens on Kodak Panatomic-X Pan film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Rodenstock Rodagon lens on Agfa Multigrade Classic MCC111 Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.
