Digital BW, The Print

Someone should email that journalist and find out how they were done? I am very curious. 
The Brandt estate backed by a big gallery could afford the gelatin transfer process. This is 
the only place I am aware of that does them. But they don't list anything over 20x24. That 
certainly doesn't mean they wouln't do special projects and probably do. This is the same 
company that did the color carbon work for the photographer Jock Sturges that were sold 
for a lot of cash. I assume that if you could afford it they could produce them quite large.
