You can google and easily access free.
I thought why todays panchro color and bw films are dull and death but wetplate was so active and lively ?
Is there a light matter interaction nonlinearity ?

or the basic reason was the size of the negative and the low ASA high resolution ?
or does uv band always do it ?
