peer agreement (net): +4Lichtdruck (collotype) from goache Explanation: If your text is for specialists (including knowledgeable amateurs), you might leave Lichtruck as is -- it is apparently an accepted term in English in the art/printing world. Depending on which references you want to believe, it is either synonymous with collotype or a variant of collotype. sample refs: Lichtdruck (Ger.) = the first reproduction process used to produce halftone illustrations in books in Germany from 1870 to 1900. http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/photographyinbooks/Glossary.asp By 1860, halftones could be created through a process known as the collotype (Gernsheim 1969, 538). But this process was not fully refined until 1868. Over two decades later the collotype would have an impact upon archaeology through the Olympia publications and a hybrid process called ‘Lichtdruck.’ With the Lichtdruck the collotype process is applied to either glass or stone (Geinsheim 1969, 548). Despite the additional step required for the intermediate stage of transformation, the Lichtdruck was enrolled in because of its ability to render halftones. This fineness of detail in the showing of things was an important aspect of the large plate folios which accompanied the Olympia volumes (Figures 2.17 and 2.18). Moreover, the Lichtdruck process allowed for much larger, more rapid and cheaper printing runs. traumwerk.stanford.edu:3455/multiplefields/364 [only available in cache] JSTOR: The Collotype Printing Process: A Proposal for Its Revival Collotype during the 19th century was known by different names such as heliotype, Lichtdruck, artotype, Albertype, autotype, phototypie and photo-gelatin. ... links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0024-094X(197622)9%3A3%3C183%3ATCPPAP%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2008-03-26 10:47:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- oops: *gouache* |
