> The biggest difference noted is that the paper old Ansel used is a creamy
fiber base paper. Perhaps Agfa Brovira or some variant. The image color was
slightly less cool than the MIS FS Neutral prints, but the paper was cream
colored, So I believe that the paper is what is adding a bit of warmth to
the overall visual effect.

As I recall this paper also had a rather unusual velvet touch finish which
precluded a lot of handling. However it would also have given a very high
level of absorbtion and so the black areas would indeed have been black.

Is this material still available as I last used it in 1964.
