A beautiful rare Lithograph stone from old print works. Made in sandstone. Lithography is a graphic technique belonging to planographic printing. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek words λίίος lithos (stone) and γρφφειν graphein (drawing/writing) and means stone printing. Lithography uses the grease in the drawing material and in the printing ink. A certain type of limestone or (nowadays) a coated metal plate serves as the carrier of the drawing. When the drawing is finished, the stone is kept moist and the drawing material is replaced by printing ink (see Technique). With a press, the inked drawing is transferred to paper. Dimensions: 26 x 14 x 4 cm. Weight: 4.046 kg. The photos are an integral part of the description of this lot. Will be carefully packaged and shipped by insured mail.
