Digital BW, The Print

You could check with the Ansel Adams Center For Creative Photography in Tucson Arizona. Many of Ansels negatives are there and they have a wealth of info. The early versions of "moonrise" with a lighter sky are rare and more valuable than the later version wuth the black sky. Larger sizes command more in either version as they are fewer in number.

>"The much more common 16 x 20 inch Moonrise prints are now valued at
>around $50,000.00. Last October, Christies estimated the value of one
>at auction to be $50,000.00 to $70,000.00. Last year Sotheby's sold a
>20 x 24 inch Moonrise for $115,000.00, but it was printed in 1957. 
>The value of a 1970s-printed 20 x 24 Moonrise is $75,000.00 to
>$80,000.00."
