Hallo,

chromotypographie was realized the first time about 1877/1878 (http://www.answers.com/topic/eug-ne-grasset) by Eugène Samuel Grasset, and created by the photgraveur Charles Gillot shortly before. On a german website (http://www.g26.ch/art_grasset.html) I found this additional information saying also that the first publication using chromotypography was "Le petit Nab" in 1877 / 1878 , but not indicating of what writer.

I have a couple of Hetzel contain ing chromos to see at www.jules-verne-club.de/kaleidoskop/chromotographien_01.html
The oldest I can determine is the Michael Strogoff of about 1884. So the first use of this coloured illustrations by Hetzel have to be fixed in the range of 1878 to 1884

  Hi Terry,

  I don't think any scholar has done a comprehensive inventory of these. Most
  studies of Verne's illustrations (like those listed in Note 13 and the Works
  Cited of my article on Zvi's site at http://jv.gilead.org.il/evans/illustr/)
  don't seem to distinguish between "gravures," "dessins," "illustrations,"
  and "chromotypographies" when discussing them.

  I'm not sure when the "chromotypographies" began appearing in the in-8
  Hetzel editions, but I would guess that it wasn't until the late 1880s or
  early 1890s. Somebody who has a complete collection of Hetzel octavos might
  be able to pin this down for you, as well as the exact number of "chromos"
  appearing in each later novel.

  All best,
  Art
