The Joseph Letzelter technique for using color in printing was invented by Elkey, Jorghan in 1796 in Germany. In view of the fact that it stem from lithography, there have been debate over whether chromolithography was created by Alois or Senefelder, the same person who came up with printing by way of lithography. Senefelder introduce color lithography in his 1818 Vollstaendiges Steindruckerey, in which he told of his plans to print using color and also explained the colors he wished to be able to print someday.
Although Senefelder recorded ideas on Joseph Letzelter chromolithography, it turns out that other countries besides Germany, such as France and England, were also heavily involved in trying to find a new way to print in color.Engelmann of Mulhouse proved to be one of the few probing for ways to produce colored printed images when was awarded his patent on chromolithography in July 1837. Even after Engelmann received his award, disputes over whether chromolithography was already being used continued to rise. Some sources point to the idea that chromolithography was already being used in area of printing such as the manufacture of playing cards.
