Mortensen liked more development to put the image on the film vs. more light
and less development. I read once where Mortensen said he would develop the
film until right before the emulsion floated off of the film base.

Subject: [pure-silver] William Mortensen's Glycin Developer
In reading through William Mortensen's book _Monsters and Madonnas_ I
found the following developer formula:
Water 1 gallon
Sodium Sulfite 2.5 oz
Glycin 1/2 oz.
Sodium Carbonate 2.5 oz
For the example photo in the book, Johan The Mad, Mortensen developed
Agfa Ortho Film Pack 1931 for 2.5 hours. I'm assumming that he used
stand development. I'm including this formulat since the book itself is
quite rare.
