I'd like to ask a couple of follow-on questions to this discussion.

* what would be considered the heyday of carbon printing?
* what was carbon's niche? It seems to me that it would not have been
  used for large "editions" in the way that photo-, later roto-, gravure
  was used, or the way collotype was used, either?

Thanks, Eric
