Relating to or made by the chromolithography process, which produces colored prints from stone or plates.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'lithos' (stone) + '-ic' (relating to). This adjective describes anything created using the chromolithographic printing technique developed in the 19th century.
Chromolithic prints from the 1890s are still gorgeous today—each color was printed separately from different stones, which is why old posters and trading cards have such rich, vibrant colors.
