Talk:Chromolithography

Pop culture reference?
Is there any way (or any need) to note the remark Cary Grant makes in North by Northwest, in the auction scene, when he loudly expresses his disbelief at a bid for a painting by shouting, "For that chromo?" --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 14:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Halftone?
Did they use halftone? If not what did they do instead?--Hhielscher (talk) 01:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Unclear!
The article is somewhat impenetrable to the novice. As far as I can tell, the printing surfaces are painted with crayons, which somehow contain enough pigments to make multiple prints. How many? What sort of crayon can result in multiple deep colors applied to multiple sheets? What purpose is actually served by the use of gum and acid?

In the examples of single-prints, what aesthetic argument was made for their superiority over the simpler method of painting directly on the (final canvas or fine-arts paper) surfaces by master painters? Mydogtrouble (talk) 14:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

The article is in dire need of a re-write - is there a flag for this ? It is unclear in the extreme.

Julius Bien
An American lithographic printer and cartographer, he is generally referred to as a "pioneer of Chromolithography" and is known for maps and the Bien Edition of Audobon's Birds of America. I am tempted to add him, but the only good source online seems to be a blog -- seemingly reliable site, but a "blog" nonetheless. ~E 74.60.29.141 (talk) 22:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC) There is also a brief bio, attributed to "Peters" (?) here: http://www.mapsofpa.com/the1900atlas.htm ~E 74.60.29.141 (talk) 22:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * "Peters" probably refers to:
 * Peters, Harry T.; America on Stone: The Other Printmakers to the American People (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran, 1931); facsimile reprint of 1931 edition published by Arno Press, 1976

Opposition?
This section should be removed, as it appears to derive from a single article, that is, it's that guy's point of view, but there's nothing in particular to back it up, beyond his original research. Theonemacduff (talk) 21:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Oleograph
Oleograph redirects here but isn't used in the article. At present a reader who searches for it is given no indication of what an oleograph is. Can a definition be added to this article to avoid confusion? – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:40, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
