From 'autolithograph' + '-er' (agent noun suffix). An art historical term for specialized printmakers working in the autolithographic tradition.
Autolithographers became artistic celebrities—Toulouse-Lautrec's poster art depended on autolithography's speed, letting him capture Parisian nightlife's chaos before it vanished, making him modern art's first photojournalist.
