THE COLLOTYPE
Collotype printing is a 19th century printing process that is considered the finest technique for the reproduction of fine art. Great color saturation is a striking feature of collotypes; however, because of the relatively long time it takes to produce a collotype and the expense of the process, the craft has slipped into obscurity.
The collotype prints were produced 60-100 years ago. They were made by Max Jaffe Press in Vienna. The quantities are very limited and collectable
