Chromocollograph

/ˌkroʊmoʊˈkɑləˌɡræf/ noun

Definition

An apparatus or device for creating colored photographic or collotype prints.

Etymology

From Greek 'chroma' (color) combined with 'collograph' (a photomechanical printing process), merging color technology with collotype printing methods that emerged in the 19th century.

Kelly Says

A chromocollograph represented cutting-edge printing technology in the late 1800s—it automated the process of creating full-color prints from photographic originals, which was previously done entirely by hand.
