As is, it has a dystopian feel.

Well done, it looks good to me.
I've been making salt prints for the past 15-odd years but have never started in the right place - i.e. calotypes. I should have a try, thanks for giving me a push.
And keep on with your own project, you have a really good starting point.

Calotypes are a fun process honestly. The most important things I've noted is the use of CLEAN water, acidifying the paper makes a huge difference, washing any of the containers you'll use, and not touching the paper after sensitization with your bare hands. That last part ruined what would have been a lovely photo for me. One thing I also noticed is that acid fixers seem to give cleaner negatives but I haven't gotten the chance to properly test that out. My theory is the acidity would help remove any residual bromine/iodine salts preventing unwanted browning of the paper.
