The photo negative is used because it stands out more. The real article is reddish smudges on linen. The negative is popular because it has higher contrast. It's not anything special beyond that.
The shroud first appeared in the 1300s so clearly there is an image on it visible without needing a photo negative.
Are you under the impression the visage on it was only discovered recently via photography?
Then reword your point because your point, as stated, suggests only one of two things:
A) The image isn't visible without a photo negative (it is, in fact, visible, so this statement is a lie)
B) The photo negatives must also date from the 14th century because it's impossible to photograph anything later (this is obviously stupid but it's the only possible other interpretation of whatever it is you're trying to say).
So instead of cryptic bullshit explain whatever it is you're trying to say. I can't read your mind so when I say your shit makes no sense it's because it makes no sense.
This isn't a difficult concept, all I'm saying is a person who's never seen photography isn't going to suddenly paint a monochrome picture with the colors inverted and then never use that technique again.
