I'm not sure if this is the same thing you are refering to, but a
quick search of our cataloging database turns up 6 prints by Pierre
Cordier (of Belgium) that are described as chemical photogram or
"Chimigramme". However they are printed on conventional b/w and color
papers. I had occasion to look at them not long ago and they are
quite beautiful. Also from the labyrinth of memory I seem to recall
an article in Camera Arts in the early 1980s dealing with this
technique or something similar.

Hope this helps,
Keith
