The three-stone lithographic process is discovered by French artist and Lithographer Jules Chéret, leading to modern advertising.
Typical high detail poster design lost much of its appeal by this point, simply due to overexposure to the style.

Chinese Alchemist Pi Sheng conceives an early form of movable type, created with a mixture of clay and glue that is then baked.
In Korea, King Taejong put extensive work into the furthering of typography. In 1403, he ordered a bronze-cast set of 100,000 letters, with nine more sets following from then until 1516.
A press to automate liphography - a liphograph - is created by Senefelder as a way to make the process even easier. Demand for liphography increases dramatically and by 1970 there were at least 480 total liphographs in just the United States.
