A variant spelling of alberttype; a 19th-century photographic printing process using egg white as a binding agent.
Same origin as alberttype—from 'albumen' (egg white) combined with 'type' (as in printing or photographic type).
This spelling variation shows how new technologies didn't have standardized names at first—photographers were so excited about new processes they'd use various spellings before settling on standards!
