J. Lane Dry Plate, latest batch
It looks like Dry Plate doesn't give the same tone scale as it is on silver print. Or am I wrong? But it is worth to try and get experience.
It is nice you start to evoke the interest among the people here. Thanks for your sharing..

This is a scan of the glass negative. These old emulsions are typically high contrast but based on the characteristic curve data I generated, this batch is not so bad. When I make prints I typically need to print to grade 0 or 1. This might actually print to a 1 or 2.

It’s also unsensitized so it only sees UV and blue.
 
Nice! I'm hoping to get out in the next week to shoot some plates. I actually have a plate waiting to be developed (if it hasn't melted in this heat) that is of a similar scene to this one. Just waiting to get some hardening fixer before I do.
