I really like the tone of this print... do you mind going further into the materials used ie toners to get this. I love the blue.

Thank you Bob. The gold toner is Tetenal (1L) and when fresh, tones nicely in about a minute. As it exhausts it can take 20 minutes or longer to see desirable tones. It comes premixed and is ready to use from the bottle.
Some of the papers I use for gold toning after "Lithing" are Slavich Unibrom grade 2, Foma 123, and Ilford MG300 Art as they give this bluish color mostly in the highlights and midtones.
I use the gold toner exclusively with Lith printing and have no other experience with it.

I just finished a series of ART 300 lith prints , tetenal gold is pretty pricy I am working with 16 x20 images probably about 30 images , did you use this solution straight out of the bottle? I am wondering how much to order.
Too me the toner looks blue in the shadows as well which is really strong element in this particular image.

I have now commented on two of your images..Lord of the Jungle caught my eye as well, so the warmth in that one came from the selenium after gold?

It is pricey....but to me worth it. Typically I'll get about 20 or so prints (11X14) before it is exhausted.
I would order at least 2 bottles.....sadly, I have been waiting almost 3 months for Freestyle to fill my backorder on Tetenal. (Hopefully by the end of April I'm told)
It is meant to be used straight from the bottle. I am only familiar with this product and there might be another alternative for the same effect. (Photographers Formulary)

@Bob Carnie re: Lord
Many variables... a combination of enlarger exposure, paper(foma123), and toning. Lith can sometimes be a hard nut to crack and often difficult to make a duplicate print.
