I thought I made that point some time back as one of the reasons why
non-silver did not seem like a good substitute for alternative. Many of my
carbros do not merely originate with silver bromide paper, but are in fact
pigment images over ryoung@chicoma.la.unm.edu (or in combination) with bromide images.
John Rudiak's suggestion of renaissance does not make it with me either,
for the same reason classical seems to miss the mark, i.e., it is simply
too strongly identified with a period in time and with already exisiting
art forms. Worse yet, folks on this list seem to have rather strange
concepts about relationships of time. John wrote:

Somewhat before to be sure! About 500 years before.
This all reminds me of the thread we had now more than a year or so ago on
Leonardo da Vinci and Medieval Photography. Now that should really have
been Renaissance photography.
