A favour - Ilford Paper Box???

[Leon]

Hi All

I hope you all had a seasonal season. I certainly did.

I had a pleasant surprise this morning - an email from someone (don't know him) in the States asking me about the dog picture of mine that is used on an Ilford paper box (Multigrade IV Resin Coat 250 sheet 8x10 - dont know what surface).

I didn't know Harman-Ilford had used the picture, but knew that they might. There's nothing underhand at play here - they have a load of my prints to use at will and have already used one on 16x20 papers.

As far as I can tell, 250 sheet boxes aren't available here in the UK, so I am assuming it is a US only product.

I am asking a big favour of our US cousins who have access to good photo/ darkroom supply stores ... are you able to find a box in-store take a digital photo of it and email it to me? I'd be eternally grateful if you could. (email address available through my website).

The picture is of my white greyhound-cross laying (sphinx like) on a dark sofa with a shallow DOF (focus on her eyes).

thanks in advance.

Leon

Are you Leon Taylor?
I have a new box of 250 8x10 FB multi grade and a new box of 250 8.5x11 rc glossy and neither have a picture at all. I also have a new box of 50 sheet 16x20 fiber gloss that has a photo of a boat hull by Leon Taylor..

PS I recently bought an 11x14 box of ilford that had APUG printed on it.

I also have a box of that paper. I can send you a scan if you still need it.

I am indeed Leon Taylor.

I have a box of the 16x20 paper with my boat picture on it - it'se the portrait of the dog I'm looking for - if you have that bdial, I would be very grateful if you could scan and email to me. thanks.

It's on its way.

Congratulations on getting it selected!

If you don't get everything you need send me a quick email. I have a retail outlet and carry most of the lineup and sizes.

Thanks once again everyone - Barry has sent me a scan of the box. It's great to see that my dog is famous in the US silver gelatine printing world

Leon, if you wish for a physical sample, Matt at AG or Martin Read, or even Harman Express should be able to sell you a box - Ilford state in their catalogue that its available world wide
