In order to be able to use "normal" selenium toners (which contain Ammonium salts and/or Thiosulfate) for Lobotypes and Kallitypes without the usual fading and yellowing of tones, the print should be bleached (potassium ferricyanide and bromide) and redeveloped in any developer for gelatine silver prints.
The toning target was a split tone with subtle reddish shadows and bluish highlights.

From Wikipedia:
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and is located in London, England. It is commonly called the Houses of Parliament after the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two legislative chambers which occupy the building. The palace has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The site of the current palace may have been used by Cnut during his reign from 1016 to 1035, and from c. 1045 – c. 1050 Edward the Confessor built a palace and the first Westminster Abbey. The oldest surviving part of the palace is Westminster Hall, which dates from the reign of William II (r. 1087–1100).
The building was originally constructed in the eleventh century as a royal palace and was the primary residence of the kings of England until 1512, when a fire destroyed the royal apartments. The monarch moved to the adjacent Palace of Whitehall, but the remainder of the palace continued to serve as the home of the Parliament of England, which had met there since the 13th century. In 1834 a second, larger fire destroyed the majority of the palace, but Westminster Hall was saved and incorporated into the replacement building.
The competition to design the new palace was won by the architect Charles Barry, who chose a Gothic Revival style for the building. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for 30 years, suffering delays, cost overruns, and the deaths of Barry and his assistant, Augustus Pugin. The palace contains chambers for the House of Commons, House of Lords, and the monarch, and has a floor area of 112,476 m2 (1,210,680 sq ft). Extensive repairs had to be made after the Second World War, including rebuilding the destroyed Commons chamber. Despite further conservation work having been carried out since, the palace is in urgent need of major repairs.
From www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200312-why-is-the-palace-of-...:
In 2012, the Houses of Commons and Lords commissioned a study on the condition of the palace, which indicated the need for major restoration work. The current sewage system was installed in 1888; there are more than 1,000 areas that contain asbestos; the chambers are not wheelchair accessible; and even rodents populate the place. Part of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems were installed after World War Two and should have been replaced in the 1980s but were not. Over the years, steam, gas and water services were built on top of each other and next to high-voltage electrical wires. And about 321km of telephone, broadcasting and sound wires need to be upgraded.
The Anston limestone used in the original construction, which was cheap and ideal for carving, began to quickly decay in the 19th Century and was only partially restored in the 1980s and ‘90s. On top of all of that, Barry and Pugin used combustible materials to decorate the palace’s interiors.

Das Record Rapid ist eines der Papiere, die keinen, oder nur wenig Verzögerer im Lithentwickler benötigen. Easy Lith FT Special enthält jedoch eine größere Menge Kaliumbromid. Dennoch kann dieser Entwickler verwendet werden, das Papier benötigt dann jedoch eine erheblich längere Belichtungszeit. Unabhängig von der Entwicklerabstimmung liegt der Snatch-Point normalerweise bei etwa 10 Minuten. Auch bei einer längeren Belichtungszeit kommen dann die Lichter nicht wesentlich farbiger, es sei denn, es wird ein zweiter Entwickler für die Lichter eingesetzt. Nach der üblichen langen Entwicklungszeit im Lith, bringt der zweite Entwickler allerdings nur wenig Effekt, weil die Lichter schon ausentwickelt sind. Soll ein anderer Ton für die Lichter erzeugt werden, muß die Entwicklungszeit im Lith verkürzt werden, damit der zweite Entwickler noch ausreichend unentwickeltes Silbersalz vorfindet. Allerdings würde dann das, für dieses Papier übliche tiefe Schwarz fehlen. Deshalb braucht es eine kurze Behandlung mit einem Nachbrenner (mit B oder Omega) nach dem Lith. Sobald sich ein tiefes Schwarz in den Schatten zeigt, wird zweimal kurz gespült, bevor im Siena die noch fehlenden Lichter entwickelt werden. Das mag kompliziert klingen, doch erfahrene Lithprinter werden dies nachvollziehen können.
Record Rapid is one of the papers that require little or no restrainer in the lith developer. Easy Lith FT Special, however, contains a larger amount of potassium bromide. Nevertheless, this developer can be used, but the paper then needs a considerably longer exposure time. Regardless of the developer adjustment, the snatch point is usually around 10 minutes. Even with a longer exposure time, the highlights then do not come out much more coloured, unless a second developer is used for the highlights. After the usual long development time in the lith, however, the second developer brings little effect because the highlights are already developed out. If a different tone is to be produced for the highlights, the development time in the lith must be shortened so that the second developer still finds sufficient undeveloped silver salt. However, the deep black that is usual for this paper would then be missing. Therefore, it needs a short treatment with an afterburner (with B or Omega) after the lith. As soon as a deep black appears in the shadows, a short rinse is done twice before the still missing highlights are developed in the Siena developer. This may sound complicated, but experienced lith printers will be able to follow this.

Vor 250 Jahren begann man hier in Hürth damit Braunkohle abzubauen. Anfangs wurde diese Kohle ausschließlich zum Heizen benutzt. Man mischte die zerkleinerte Kohle mit Wasser zu einem Brei, preßte diesen in eine Form und ließ ihn trocknen. Die Geburtsstunde des Briketts, oder wie man in dieser Gegend sagt, des Klüttens. Das erste Klüttenwerk (von 1884) lag in unmittelbarer Nähe der Grube in Alt-Hürth. Als diese Grube ausgekohlt war, wurde die Kohle aus anderen Ortsteilen mittels einer Seilbahn hierher transportiert. Der Straßennahme „Klüttenweg“ erinnert an diese Seilbahn. Der rekultivierte Bereich der ersten Grube ist heute das Landschaftsschutzgebiet Hürtherberg, das ca. 300 Meter vor meiner Haustür liegt.
Lignite mining began here in Hürth 250 years ago. Initially, this coal was used exclusively for heating. The crushed coal was mixed with water to make a pulp, pressed into a mould and left to dry. This was the birth of the briquette, or as we say in these parts, ‘Klütten’. The first briquette plant (from 1884) was located in the immediate neighbourhood of the mine in Alt-Hürth. When this mine was exhausted, the coal was transported here from other parts of the town by cable car. The street name ‘Klüttenweg’ is a reminder of this cable railway. The recultivated area of the first mine is now the Hürtherberg nature reserve, which is about 300 metres from my front door.

Kahuna peers into the lowering rays of the setting sun as he scouts the dirt walkway along Vine St., two houses away. The pair of properties between my house and Vine are both surrounded by chain-link fence, as mine is, so Kahuna can watch any activity along Vine through the fences—people walking their dogs after work, and the occasional horse and rider. He keeps pretty good tabs on the neighborhood :-)

Before I give the credits to the developer let me first apologize to those who have followed me up to this point. my activity in the last 6 months has been minimal due to a horrible laptop. the other day I fixed that in buying myself a new computer, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to take more ambitious photography than ever. my inactivity got me unfollowed by countless members, and banned from multiple groups, so you can imagine I wont be doing that again :)
This lovely landscape was on my list for some time, I had seen it briefly on my old computer but there was no hope of capturing it before. not quite the WL I was looking for, but all my choice WL's are saved on my other computer. (side not if anyone knows how to convert a WL to file and transfer it, paint me interested and in turn, my windlights would be up for grabs to anyone interested.) I'll certainly have to be back or to one of their many other, equally beautiful sims when I get my WL's sorted.

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.
Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.
