Excerpt from Metal Plate Printing: A Treatise on Printing in the Lithographic Manner From Zinc and Aluminum Plates

Etal plate, as a substitute for stone, is now such an important factor in lithography that the printer who is progressive and wishes to consider himself thor oughly efficient must possess a fairly comprehensive and practical knowledge of its manipulation and possibilities. Every up-to-date lithographer knows that since the introduction of lithography, more than a hundred years ago, much'time and many experiments have been made by those interested in the art to discover an efficient sub stitu-te for the Solenhofen stones. The great Senefelder himself was the first to look about for a less cumbersome material to work with, iand this research has been con tinned up to the present time.
