Usuff,
I haven't read the article, but the terminology used (Silver Mirror prints)
tells me that it might be comparable with (German) Tetenal Silver Bronze Mirror
Developer, which I have in my darkroom ,but I haven't been in a position to use
it (yet). I have worked with it once in a workshop and then there were
possibilities for mirror like qualities in the (ordinary) B&W print.
