A dog called lion

This is the Monument in Highgate cemetery to the famous Victorian bare-knuckle boxer, Thomas Sayers 1826-1865. It is a Grade II listed marble structure with a statue of his beloved Bull mastiff dog he called Lion.
Taken low down with my homemade 4x5 film pinhole camera www.flickr.com/photos/30604088@N03/51891281144/in/datepos... a focal length of 50mm f176, 14mm in 35mm terms on Shanghai GP3 4x5 sheet film. A 7.5 minute exposure with the camera on a small tripod.
Developed in homemade 510 pyro, I could not find any times for sheet film, the Mas Dev chart only had 2 for Shanghai GP3 film and those where 120 film and one was 6 minutes and the other was 12.5 minutes, so no help there. So I stand developed it in my Stearman Press SP-445 processing tank for 1 hour 15 minutes ish at 20 degrees ish, A quick wash in water as a stop bath, then fixed in Kodak rapid fixer. for 5 minutes., with a final rinse in distilled water and a drop of Ilford Ilfotol.
Then I scanned it in my Epson V600 scanner laid straight on to the glass bed in 2 half's and stitched them together in Photoshop.
