A journal offering instruction in various aspects of art flower and fruit painting figure painting the art of illumination etc. with commentaries on the work of old masters with chromolithographic reproductions of famous paintings or contemporary art work. Numerous articles of general interest on a variety of subjects. It appears a primary aim of the journal was to provide color images of great works of art to the masses. The journal evidently was suspended for several months in late February 1868 and resumed publication with the July 4 number in which the publishers write: "Messrs. Zorn & Company consider it desirable to offer a few observations to the readers of 'The Chromolithograph' on the publication of the first number that has been issued since they became its proprietors. It is intended to spare neither exertions nor expense in endeavouring to carry out the view which 'The Chromolithograph' was originally established namely: That of placing within the reach of all classes of people an Art Journal illustrated in colours and in all respects of a high order of merit." Volume II contains the issue of March 27 1869 with three plates. This the final number is not present in copies held by many of the libraries having "The Chromolithograph" in their collections. .
