- 1908, Columbia Photographic Society, Camera: a practical magazine for photographers, volume 12:
  Pastes made with ordinary wheat flour are very liable to mould and while this tendency may be counteracted by addition of chemical preservatives, there is danger that such antisepses may not be healthful for the print itself.
