found a source which says otherwise
the International Fine Art Dealers Association
A *second edition* is a later printing made from the original matrix after
an edition of declared number has already been printed. Second editions are
usually only made with explicit authorization from the artist and should be
annotated as such. A photographically produced replica of the original
print, whether printed in a limited edition or not, is not a second edition;
it is a reproduction.
Today, all limited edition prints should be numbered, and because of
advancements in technology and a printer's ability to print reciprocal,
identical images, the numbering sequence is no longer intended to reflect
the order of printing. Numbering is now transcribed as a fraction with the
top number signifying the number of that particular print and the bottom
number representing the total number of prints in the edition. The edition
number does not include
proofs<http://www.ifpda.org/content/collecting_prints/glossary#proofs>,
but only the total number of prints in the numbered edition.

the second half does not apply to photography, it would for a painting
though. also notice that a limited edition should be numbered, not that it
must be numbered in order to be limited. this would make numbering a sign
of being limited but not a defining aspect.
