Inspired by Niels Ryberg Finsen’s method, and by making use of Finsen’s original coloured filters and lenses as well as contemporary coloured filters, Howalt was able to absorb select areas of light from the sun, allowing the remaining areas of the electromagnetic spectrum to pass through Finsen’s original rock crystal lenses onto photosensitive paper. This unique method of light exposure resulted in a series of original imprints created by the sunrays passing through unhindered, directly from the sun and onto the paper.
