Getty Research Institute copy, scandate 20151020

showing the first of four uranium tones, the others being C, Red Brown; D, Brown; and E, Sepia (uranium and iron), described with formulae at pp 21-23

wonder what effect 110+ years of uranium in the tint/dye might have had on the film and its emulsion.
