phototype
Plate from light
Phototype refers to a printing plate or block produced photographically, or the print made from such a plate.
The term also describes an early photographic process that created images suitable for mass reproduction.
In biology, a phototype is a photograph serving as the type specimen for a species when the original specimen is lost or unavailable.
