   • 1855, Annual Report of the Director, United States Coast Survey, page 55:

     This I have great expectation of determining to be a practicable method of producing a chemiglyphic line-engraving; but the essential idea of this is probably due to M. Gaudin instead of myself.

   • 1910, Louis Edward Levy, “The Pictorial Age”, in Process Photogram, volume 17, page 242:

     Twenty-five years later the germs of the collotypic processes were just being hatched out, and to-day the brood of photographic, collotypic, and chemiglyphic processes has become so numerous that only a Special Committee of some future Pan-Graphic Convention will ever manage to get their very names disentangled.
