Richard -

To misquote Shakespear - "A rose by any other name would smell..."

I think you have have made a good point. Purhaps Clasical would be a
more appropriate alternative to Alternative, however non-silver seems to
be more accurate. I really prefer to call each process what it is:
Carbon, Cyanotype, Platinotype, Gum, et-cetera, et-cetera.

What do the purchasers of fine photographic prints understand? Clasical
may just be too confusing. I vote for Non-silver.
