Yes Judy you are correct, "pigment print" was the wording used.
My faux pas. It was late and violent thunder storms were rolling through my
neighborhood so I mis-remembered the wording. :~)

Part of my curiousity was due to seeing prints in other exhibits categorized
(described) as pigment prints and it was never clear to me what that meant.
I vaguely surmised that they were some kind of carbon print.

I've not seen an actual Sudek, only a cheap reproducton, but even so they
are very compelling for me to look at, the word sublime does come to mind
for me too.
Thanks Judy(and to everyone that replied),
