An oleograph, also called chromolithograph is a colour lithograph produced by preparing a separate stone by hand for each colour to be used and printing one colour in register over another. Sometimes as many as 30 stones were used for a single print. The technique was pioneered in the 1830s but came into wide commercial use only in the 1860s. It was the most popular method of colour reproduction until the end of the 19th century
