There is a chemical method which was published in one of the Kodak
books ... I will cudgel my brain
No need to cudgel... Google knows all. Reproduced
below.
This is yet another method. The one in the Kodak book has a
single solution unless I am mis-remembering it. I don't remember
seeing it anywhere else. This is the book on preserving archival
material. Golly, its so frustrating to have a memory that drops names
overboard.
I am pretty sure BTW that the formula you quote will also
bleach pyro stain. The stain image is very robust and will sometimes
outlast the silver image.
Later: I think the book I am thinking of is James M. Reilly's
book on identifying historical photographs. A Kodak book but
published by the Silver Pixel Press.
