The point of my comment was that the Argyrotype is essentially a chemically
updated version of these processes and so it would make sense to compare
with the Van Dyke in terms of quality of results, sensitivity to different
papers, ease of use, cost etc.
This would make much more sense than attempting to review the Argyrotype in
isolation.
