Hi Judy,

> not "beautiful" like the black Klaus had from Hahnemuel.

Some historical fuss for you (and others):

Franz Hanfstaengl (1804-1877) a famous photographer in Munich (Bavaria)
a portraist of Christian Andersen, Liszt Ferenc, Richard Wagner, etc and
the author of a few portrait albums.

He had a a few improvements about photographic processes also
(ie. galvanographia). His relatives founded a factory in Munich which
made these pigment tissues.

As I know, this production was stopped a short time ago.
