Collotype
A mechanised representative process used for printing black or colour posters and transparencies, as lately revived from its 1880 - 1914 popularity era. Patented in France (1855) as "Photocollography", then modified as "Phototypy" (1865) and as "Albertypy" (1868), this process used photosensitive substances, not as agents in making plates for printing, but to serve directly as the effective surface of such plates. Also called the "collotype process", it was neglected until recently.
