Actually, you can put on any date you damn please .... MacDermit & McGough
date all their work 1917.
But another point: about that analogy of photo tones with music notes...
TOO MUCH tremuloso in music can be the stuff of parody. Can too many
tones in a print also be counterproductive?
And another other point: Having put considerable effort into problems of
registration in subsequent coats of gum printing, my guess is that game in
platinum printing isn't worth the candle. Surely much more difficult to
manage where the whole point of the print is precise detail.
