Description

This is a box of orthochromatic anti-halo roll film produced by the Belgian company Gevaert. Orthochromatic film is sensitive to blue and green light but insensitive to red, meaning it could be processed under a red safelight. The "Superchrome" branding was Gevaert's high-speed offering during this era. This specific box was printed in the U.S.A., likely under the Gevaert Company of America, which distributed the Belgian-formulated emulsion domestically during the mid-20th century.
