A Chromolithograph is a colored picture printed from a series of stone or metal plates, the impression from each stone, plate, etc.
being in a different color. To properly place so many stones, plates, etc., so that they are precisely aligned one atop of the other, is a tremendous technical feat in itself.

The utilization of Photographic Methods In Chromolithography were first experimented on in the year 1841 in America & in Ireland. In the case of these chromolithographs, which is the alliance of the camera and the lithographic stone, plate, etc., there was usually a coat of varnish added. These are often times called "GLOSSY'S".
