A photographic darkroom, in which prints were made from photographic negatives. An enlarger projects the image from the negative onto a sheet of photographic paper. After a set exposure time (a few seconds) the exposed paper is immersed in a tray of liquid developer, and subsequently into a tray of liquid fixer. It is then rinsed and hung up to dry.
