A colored stone or a print made using the chromolithography process; short for chromolithograph.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'lithos' (stone). This shortened form became common in the printing industry as a quick reference to chromolithographic prints.
During the Victorian era, chromoliths were everywhere—beautiful colored posters and prints that amazed people because color printing was brand new and magical at the time.
