A method of printing or reproduction that creates artistic or prototype images, particularly an early photographic or printing process.
From Greek 'artos' (bread) + 'typos' (impression, type). The term may reference early printing processes or could derive from specialized artistic reproduction techniques.
Artotype represents a forgotten corner of printing history—when photographers and printers were constantly inventing new techniques with poetic names to capture images in ways we now take for granted.
