Mark,

I'm biased towards silver prints myself but I would  amend "isn't 
'photographic' " to read "it isn't a silver print."
Side by side differences stand out between most any (un-glazed) 
photographic media and it is usually clear to me which is a compromise 
choice.  Given an original contact print or a gravure ( by someone like 
Strand) - which would you pick?
