papyrography|pæpɪˈrɒgrəfɪ|
[f. as prec. + -graphy.]
A term applied to a process of writing or drawing on paper and transferring the design to a zinc plate whence it is printed.
The name had already been given in French (papyrographie) to various transfer processes introduced in 1819, 1822, and 1840 respectively. More recently it has been loosely applied in English to Captn. Abney's papyrotype, etc.
