Contact print: an original photograph produced
by placing a negative in direct contact with photosensitive paper and exposing
it to light. The result is an image of the highest possible clarity,
the same size as the negative. Contact prints were used for a wide
variety of formats, including carte de vista, stereo, cabinet cards and larger
mounted photographs. Huffman used all of these formats and, until about 1900,
most were contact prints.
