<<I don't think Man Ray "discovered" solarization. He may have
re-discovered it, or simply said he did. He called them "Ray-O-Graphs"

had, so be careful what you believe from artists' autobiographies. The
solarization process was actually discovered by a Frenchman named
Sabbattier around 1870, and you'll often find it listed in photography
textbooks under his name.

sorry, I guess Man Ray was the first to make 'fortune and fame' from them.
I'll try to read my history books a little closer.  Guess we all make
Mistakes.
