What does CHROMO mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A colour print made by lithography, in the short form of the word chromolithograph.
Chromos were mass-produced in the nineteenth century, when printers laid several coloured stones one over another to imitate paintings cheaply. Families hung them on parlour walls, and the word later took on a slightly dismissive sense for showy, sentimental pictures. Collectors today value a good chromo as a record of Victorian taste.
