Digital BW, The Print

David -
 
Given first rate negative scans I believe there are several on this list that could pretty well duplicate any given print of Ansels if they had it in front of them.  However, it would obviously not be possible to create something new and say that's how Ansel would see it now.

Ansel spent a lot of time in the darkroom manipulating his prints and it would require a really good eye to achieve the same image from a scan of the negative, albeit in theory, a much better approach.

new negative scans, the best digital B&W printing possible and an eye
