>From reading I have one, Penn would come into the studio, and look at the  
ground glass, make adjustments and leave.  The 'technicians' actually lit,  
composed and tripped the shutter.  From that I would say David Vestal  is 
correct.
 
George Tice also printed platinum in the 70's

Where do you have info that can be verified that  he did not print his alt 
or 
other work?

You know, a while ago there  was an article in one of the photo mags in 
which 
David Vestal reamed  Irving Penn re: his work and implied that they guy 
knew 
nothing about  photography. It was deplorable, and just proved to me that 
Vestal had an  axe to grind, but both men's work speaks for  itself.
