Chromolithography is a printmaking process where multiple lithographic stones are used to create vibrant multi-colored prints. It was popular in the 19th century and used to illustrate books on a wide variety of topics such as decorative arts, architecture, and fashion plates. The prints are luminous! Milwaukee Public Library holds many books that feature chromolithographs. A selection will be out for the public to browse during this open house event.
Reasonable accommodations will be provided upon request. Contact the City of Milwaukee ADA Coordinator, 414-286-3475 or [email protected] no later than 72 hours before the scheduled event.
