The art, practice, or process of creating, carving, or engraving cameos; the documentation and study of cameo work and designs.
From cameo plus -graphy (from Greek graphia, writing or description). This constructed word describes both the artistic practice and the study of cameo craftsmanship.
Cameography was a major art form during the Victorian era when wealthy collectors became obsessed with owning tiny masterpieces—some cameos took months to carve and sold for incredible sums, making skilled cameographers genuine celebrities.
