Darryl,
just out of interest: what blacks do you get with selenium toned
argyrotypes? If my recent experience of toning salt prints with selenium
1:200 is anything to go by, selenium produces northing like a black at all,
and as a result pictures apear somewhat flat
and clearly inferior to gold toned ones.
