Cliche verre, a Greek phrase meaning “glass picture. Cliche Verre is a method of etching on a ground-coated transparent material, or painting and drawing on a transparent surface, such as glass or film and printing the resulting image on a light sensitive paper. Cliche verre was one of the earliest forms of reproducing images before the advent of the camera. During the mid 19th century, French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot made the cliche verre a popular combination of art and photography. It is a process first practiced by a number of French painters during the early part of the 19th century.
