Which is one reason, incidentally, contacting a print to same size sheet
film to make the negative works well. You can get *more* shadow detail
than is visible in the print, although that takes a bit of attention. Look
at the print on a light box (or as Liam says, hold up to light) & see
what's in there. I've contacted mostly doubleweight fibre prints, because
I had them. Others make RC print interpositives to contact.
