Interesting image. It’s worth noting that the pinkish and reddish-coppery color is not a function of the age of this print, in general. This hue is common to silver chloride emulsions on perhaps albumen (denatured egg whites) coated paper. I hand-made some albumen prints in 1993 that look almost exactly like this print, even now, which is how they looked on the day I made them. Sepia tone is not a function of age in most prints, but a function of the processes used to make them. Cool.
