Now that I notice, you mention applying the silver nitrate after exposure.
This was not done in the original as both pt and ag were incorporated into
the paper so you may actually be referring to the work C. Nze and I did a
decade ago. The original Satista did not seem to go anywhere but it is hard
to know. 

I have long believed that many Kallitypes and Satistas got described and
cataloged in collections as platinum prints. Dusan Stulik at Getty
Conservation has with his magic toys found this to be true.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a variation of the (so called) Satista process, with the
additional step of applying fumed silica to the paper beforehand... ??? (In
statista you apply silver nitrate after exposure whereas in this one you mix
it with the sensitizer beforehand. BTW, I think it's pretty normal to have
sludge when mixing ammonium iron(III) oxalate and silver nitrate...)

Loris.
