No, it sounds like Terry is using iron(II) to reaction with the gold
compound and produce gold - as Herschel did. No more involving an 'iron
print' than the kallitype or platinum etc processes. I'm not at all sure how
you would make an 'iron print' - unless this is another name for a
cyanotype!
I have also carried out some experiments with gold prints using an iron
oxalate sensitiser - although the results obtained were not promising enough
to persuade me to continue - very indifferent compared to platinum or
kallitype and what I regarded as a fairly unpleasant lilac colour.

Yes, I would be interested to hear more.
