Even in January the contrast is such a shock to someone like me based normally so much further North. Very unusual monogram. Never seen this. Alway GRII (George Rex) never with an Arabic 2 (and a crooked one at that).
@jtk I’ll have another go at this one. My enlarger was playing up due to a loose connection that needed re-wiring. I think it’s just underexposed at the printing stage but it is very high contrast.
