Most papers of this age will most definitely Lith with Moersch’s Easylith. The Mimosa was no exception, in fact the paper is an excellent candidate for the Lith process. The results having dark contrasty tones for me at least. Similar in regarding to Wet plate tintype if I was forced to make a comparison.
