BTW, you never answered my question. How many Old Judges have you examined such that you are qualified to opine on the photographs and make you think your knowledge is superior to that of the MET and the LOC?
Just some basic knowledge of history and a bit of common sense goes a long way.

What makes more sense to Goodwin, from an economic point of view?

To use either, pre-sensitized albumen paper (more expensive; think of it like buying premium photo paper today), or a group of workers to separate egg whites all day to make photo-grade albumen (more expensive);

Instead of,

Salt and water (cheap, readily available in large barrels), and gelatin (cheap, widely used by paper mills to size paper and add/or to add a semi-gloss surface)?
