Toning D.O.P.
Lots of pre-war toning recepies are in Eder's Jahrbücher (starting 1886) and
Eder's Rezepten, Tabellen, Arbeitsvorschriften. Also as mentioned before in
all kinds of yearbooks (also in English) and contemporary photographic
magazines.
The disadvantage of some of these old recepies are that poisenous chemicals
(like by example mercury-chloride at 50 degrees Celcius) are involved.
A brief search for more or less recent reliable toning recepies resulted in
finding books already mentioned, but also other books, magazines and
additional information on sources mentioned:
1. E.J. Wall's (and F.I. Jordan) Photographic facts and formulas has at
least 4 editions:
First ed. 1924, second ed. 1940, third ed. 1947 and fourth ed. 1976. (Info
from my 3rd ed.).
2. Keith Henney and Beverly Dudley, Handbook of photography. N.Y. 1939
p.453-465 and bibliography (p.465) of 24 magazines and 7 books.
3. C.B. Neblette, Photography, its principles and practice. London 4th ed.
2nd print 1943 (1st ed. 1927) p.644-661. (Including mordanting).
4. Phototechnik International. nov/dez No. 6/1989. p.36-41. Dr. Christian
Gericke. With 13 principles of colouring (toning) of DOP in one blockdiagram
on p.41.
5. BJP 28 May 1992. p.16-19. Eric Matthews. "Once more into the bleach".
Split-tone with selenium.
6. Leslie Stroedel e.a. Photographic materials and processes. Boston/London.
1986. p.328- 338. With 22 references on p.338.
Did you also consider buying ready-made toning chemicals and/or kits? There
was e.g. a "Colorvir" kit on the market (in 1996 at least). It was complete
with a manual and at least 12 bottles. All colours one could think of were
possible, including special effects.
Good luck.
