  • Oleograph - An oleograph is a type of print that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a high-quality reproduction of an original painting or artwork, made using a process called chromolithography. In this process, the original painting is first transferred onto a series of lithographic stones or plates, one for each colour used in the original artwork.

    Each stone or plate is then inked with a different colour, and the paper is run through the press once for each colour, creating a full-colour reproduction of the original artwork. The resulting print has a vibrant, almost three-dimensional quality, and can be mistaken for an original painting.

    Oleographs were especially popular in the late 1800s, as they offered an affordable way for people to enjoy reproductions of famous paintings and artwork in their own homes. They were often framed and hung on walls, and could be found in homes, hotels, and other public spaces. While oleographs are no longer as common today, they remain a fascinating example of early printing technology and the art of reproduction.
