I haven't seen this book yet but the comment about scanning the pages of an 
original copy (rather than negatives) caught my attention.  It occurred to 
me that the intent might have been to reproduce the look of the gravure 
process used for the original prints.  According to the link below, this is 
what actually happened.  I have seen one copy of the original edition, and 
though the gravure process gives a lovely tonality, it lacks the crispness 
we've become used to in later technologies.  Very interesting IMO.
