Yes and it is excellent. One anecdote regarding contemporary albumen
printing: Back in the 70s Robert Steinberg (Palladio Co.) used the process
extensively with excellent results. Then at one point a fire destroyed
their premises. Ever since they've moved they haven't been able to quite
match the quality of what they were producing before in albumen...
