Love the detail! Maybe I should try some of that Oriental again - haven't used it since the 60's, and it's probably completely different.My Great Grandfather was the town blacksmith where I grew up. This could have been his shop.
 
I love this image Lillian! I used to work in a museum like this myself and I think this really captures the essence of the place.
 
Beautiful, Lillian! Tim Rudman says it's the same emulsion, but I see differences. Either way, it was (as apparently there is an emulsion change coming up) the only paper to likely still contain cadmium. I've spoken to Tim about it a few times, and he always felt that it is the only thing that can account for the variety of colors attainable with certain developers/dilutions. Try it once with Moersch SE5, hot and fairly high dilution, with a normal to low contrast negative. It gets pretty wild.
 
Thanks all. Max, I've got a bit of the Moersch, I think, so I'll give that a try.
