[DCRM-L] litho-engraving?

[Lapka, Francis]

I have in hand an amusing set of cards that parody carte de visite photographs, perhaps made during the 1860s (given the subject matter). The V&A has some too, including this charming puss:

For materials and techniques, the V&A calls this a "litho-engraving," a term I haven't encountered before, and one I don't see in standard sources such as Gascoigne. What does it mean? Is it intended to mean a lithographic reproduction of an intaglio print? To my eye the lines look plausibly etched (under a loop), but I recognize that this look could be mimicked.
