Hi John,
You're right : platinum + ferro-prussiate
print.
You can find a description and reproduction on the
following link :
On this other link, which is an article by Mike
Ware,
we can see that there are various versions, one of
them (with another title) being a "multiple gum bichromate over
platinum"
the other one is then stated as : platinum,
cyanotype, ferro-prussiate print.
I'm sure [and luckily, i begin to notice with
my own work] that alternative processes arise quite an interest from
photography collectors in this time of digital photography...
Cheers from france

From a TV programme, ''The Genius of
Photography.'' broadcast on BBC 4 yesterday I learned that Edward Steichen's
. ''Moonrise - Mamaroneck, New York. 1 9 0 4 '', was sold in
auction for two million six hundred thousand pounds. Apparently the
highest figure ever paid for a photograph.
The
narrator did not say what process the photo was, but I seem to recall
that it was a platinum and ferro- prussiate print.
Maybe there's a chance for alternative
photography to hit the headlines, again.
For now, Ciao.
