1950s photo reprint from original - what method is best

Catbells

Hi. I want to have a photograph made from a Kodachrome slide taken in the late 1950s for a gift.  Is there any advice on what sort of finish to ask the printers to use?  Its not cheap so want to get it right.     I've heard of two finishes -  C type and fine art (don't understand either)  but there may be other ways which would suit a colour slide reproduction.  If you know this and any other advice I'd be very grateful.  I have digitised it already.  Thanks.

C Type is a high quality method of printing for which there can be several different finishes..
Fine Art is really just a vague term for a posh photo* which will often be printed as a C Type.

Some details can be seen here....

I would have reservations about using top of the range printing for a 70 year old digitised slide(especially if the Original slide and/or digitising was not of very high quality); my feeling is something cheaper would not be very different.  However that is just my feelings have a read about the quality stuff in my link above.

EDIT
*  Or put another way ....
"Fine-art photography is photography created in line with the vision of the photographer as artist, using photography as a medium for creative expression. The goal of fine-art photography is to express an idea, a message, or an emotion."  Wikipedia

Might get some other advice here....
