Description
Chromolithography
Chromolithography is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Oftentimes, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors were layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired effect. Chromolithograph color could also be effectively blended for even more dramatic effects. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it emerged as the dominate method of color printing.Publication History

James Gale Tyler (1855-1931) was a maritime painter and illustrator. He was born in Oswego, N.Y. and became very well-known during his lifetime. Tyler is famous for his maritime paintings, and his interest in the ocean and seagoing vessels began early, by the age of 15. It was written that, 'no aspect of maritime life escaped Tyler's attention. In addition to painting all types of boats – from old sloops to clipper ships – he painted a variety of seamen, coastal scenes, and seascapes.' He had many illustration commissions during his career, such as Harper’s, Century, and Literary Digest. More by this mapmaker...
