The Colorful World of Chromolithography

Exhibit opens Saturday, November 21

Our newest exhibit, “The Colorful World of Chromolithography,” opens Saturday, November 21st and showcases many beautiful examples of this color printing technique. One of the items that we will showcase is the “Album des célébrités contemporaines, publié par Lefevrè-Utile,” Nantes, circa 1909. It is a masterpiece of chromolithography and a stunning example of turn-of-the-century art nouveau illustration. There are only five of these 24-page albums in America and the Museum has one of those originals. If you come to the exhibit on opening day you will receive a free copy of this unique work. You will also see original examples of the work of Louis Prang, the father of the American Christmas card.

CDC and State guidance advisories for Covid will be in effect. Mark your calendars and wear your masks!

The Museum of Printing is located at 15 Thornton Avenue in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The Museum is open Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm and by appointment. Any questions? Reach out to us at .
