During this era of time, labels and packaging were becoming more important areas that were being developed with the use of chromolithographic. This method was becoming popular in almost every American city. Traveling circuses and carnivals used this idea to create posters and flyers. I think this method did have its ups and downs, but the bold colors that could be used, illustrations, and fine typography made this method more unique then using letterpress printers. I like the use of layering that the printers had to re-create with using their stones. I think this always help add depth to some pictures that did appear more realistic than others. Although this method was a bit more expensive and could take up to months to produce, I think this was the best and most unique way that printing in the 19th century was done.
