Featured Anyone heard of the "Rapholith Process"?

Got this little lantern shaped novelty book made by Raphael Tuck and sons and it lists the printing process as the "Rapholith Process" which to me sound like a fancy name for chromolithograph process. Raphael Tuck and sons were a very big name in postcards and greeting cards in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras but I hadn't heard of them producing novelty books. Given the mention of "New York" in the text it can't have been made earlier than 1893 when they opened there so probably very late Victorian early Edwardian. Shame about the damage.
Some questions. Rapholith process?? Can anyone read all the handwriting?

Agreed, "rapholith" = chromo. Nice thing tho

 

The writing seems Kurrent (old German) to me.

 

Just a guess, but I wonder whether "Rapholith" was a special process developed for Raphael Tuck & Sons? Since the first four letters are the same in both.

Another possibility is that it's just a name used for advertising purposes, and that it's no different from any other chromolithographic process.

 

if I only found the second half of my glasses...
yes, German.
