glass print

glass print (or cliché-verre). An image made by exposing sensitized photographic paper to the sun beneath a glass plate on which the design has been drawn. Such images resemble etchings and are sometimes classified as a type of print. The medium was popular in France from about 1850 to 1870; during this period it was used by several distinguished artists, above all Corot, and it has occasionally been used subsequently.
