Below are two many decades old original transparencies (thin plastic sheets used to make paper photographs)of Robert Mitchum. Due to a combination of luck and good storage, the first has retained its original and beatiful colors. The second, while still with a nice and collectable image (with 'love' and 'hate' tattooed to his hands), has acquired a magenta tone with age. The magenta tone can even be heavier ... This also shows why quality old photographic transparencies are highly collectable.
