adjective
- alternativeAlternative form of chromocarbon.
To transfer such chromo-carbon prints to zinc or stone for printing, seems an obvious step to be taken by any one; but as Photo-zincography and Photo-lithography will henceforth figure as one of the useful arts, it is desirable to preserve the history of its first introduction.
