Yes, I was a bit amazed too. It could have been Höchheimer Gummi Drucke, a process that was used by dutch pictorialists and was published and made commercial by Alfred Höchheimer.

And you might have seen also some Erwino prints. The photographer Berssenbrugge was one of the few people with a liscense of this process by Erwin Quedenfeldt. But this is not a direct carbon technique. Here a gelatin relief image on a glass plate is printed with watercolor paint (by hand) on a sheet of paper.
