Yes that's really strange. I've noticed it before on other images from other
people..wierd!

I'll take a look and see if they're still there.

I take your point. Maybe that's why Demachy used the brush(?). I'll try again and
maybe intervene during the development.

The paper I used was Fabriano Artistico Extra White 300gsm, although I must admit
it doesn't look so 'extra white' to me, at least comparing it with Arches.

Sizing is 4% gelatine applied by brush, hardened with formaldehyde also brushed
applied after the jello has set.

I didn't clear the print at all. I didn't see any yellowing. Maybe I should try that.

Thanks very much for the feedback :)

Regards,

David H

P.S. It seems quite lately. Perhaps I should mention politics (!?)
