Newgrange

Newgrange megalithic tomb, in Co. Meath, Ireland. This passage tomb was built in the Neolithic (new stone age) era, about 3200 BC. Newgrange has been reconstructed extensively in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The photo was taken in August of 1985 with a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35 mm SLR equipped with a 55 mm f/1.7 Prinz Auto Rexatar lens on Kodak Kodacolor VR100 film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Rodenstock Rodagon lens on Kodak Panalure Select Medium Weight Resin Coated 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.
