Hello Herschel,
I am familiar with gum prints, and unfortunately that's not what I'm looking
for. The process I'm trying to identify actually washes away some of the
print itself and leaves it looking as if sand had blown over it (but the
method uses liquid chemicals). I'm determined to find my answer and won't
give up. I appreciate your help, though. Thank you.
Marilyn

Gum bichromate is "Developed" by washing the surface of the print.
(Washing away an aggregate) It also allows the use of art paper.

I can't recall it for the life of me.
The original print may have been made using a nonsilver process - I'm
looking at one of the prints now and the paper is very textured - like a
watercolor paper (it's matted, mounted and framed so I can't actually
feel the paper).
I'll keep rummaging through my books and papers, but I thought one of
you might remember the method.
