Scope note
Photographic process that uses light to print onto photosensitized paper a drawing on a glass plate (or another translucent surface). The resulting print contains elements of both printmaking and photography. The term is often used for both the process, the negative, and also the resulting print. The technique was developed in the 1830s.
