Widely used in the 15th-18th centuries engraving allowed for very sharp impression and especially fine details, which were often coloured by hand resulting in completely unique images.
The 19th century brought the invention and refinement of chromolithography which facilitated high-quality, vibrant colour reproductions. This remained the principal colour printing technique until the 1930s.
