Lithography is a method of printing invented by Alois Senefelder in 1798. It is based on the antipathy of water and grease. The desired design is drawn with a greasy chalk on to a thick slab of stone. [..]

Prints made using the process of lithography - a method for printing using a plate or stone with a completely smooth surface.

n. A print made by printing from stone.

this refers not to buttons but to printed matter such as prints and broadsides that have been created using the lithograph printing process.

a print made from smooth, porous stone or grained metal plate on which an image has been made with a greasy medium. Lithography depends on the repulsion between oil and water. The stone or plate is da [..]

A poster-like print that is produced by using a special, high-quality printing process.

Francisco Goya (1746-1828) was probably the first artist to truly make memorable use of lithography, a technique first invented in 1798. To produce a lithograph print, the artist, or an assistant unde [..]

A lithograph is made by using the same principles as etching. Instead of the image being scraped away from a metal plate, the image is drawn onto a metal or stone slab with a greasy crayon. When the image is finished, water is spread over the surface and ink is applied. The lines of the greasy crayon attract the ink, whereas the wet areas repel it. [..]

A type of print invented in 1798 in Germany by Aloys Senefelder. Like other planographic methods of image reproduction, lithography relies on the fact that grease and water do not mix. Placed in a pre [..]

This printing technique uses a planographic process in which prints are pulled on a special press from a flat stone or metal surface. The surface has been chemically sensitised so that ink sticks only [..]

A printed image made from a flat surface that results from the repulsion of grease and water. Ink that is rolled onto a lithographic stone or plate will adhere to a grease receptive mark while water will repel the ink from the non greasy areas.

A method of printing using a plate or stone with a completely smooth surface and using a chemical process to create an image. Lithography uses oil or fat and gum arabic to divide the smooth surface in [..]

A commonly used printing technique where an inked image is transferred from a lithography plate to a rubber blanket or pad, then to a surface. Offset works particularly well because of the rubber blan [..]

Invented in Germany in 1796, lithographs are produced by drawing an image with grease based crayons or oily inks on a fine-grained limestone slab or a smooth metal plate. The surface is treated with c [..]
