Catalogue of an Exhibition Illustrative of a Centenary of Artistic Lithography, 1796-1896 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition Illustrative of a Centenary of Artistic Lithography, 1796-1896 Lithography, the art of printing from stone, has reached its centenary age. This occurrence is well worthy of commemoration by holding a review of its achievements. The exhibition of prints to which this catalogue is to serve as a guide has been undertaken with that end in view; and, in spite of our isolation from the chief theater of the early achievements in artistic lithography, enough will be found in the collection to make possible the tracing of the development of this important art from its infancy in Germany to our own latest home products. The story of the invention of lithography, and of its inventor, Aloys Senefelder, has been told so often that a repetition seems trite; but the occasion appears to call for a condensed recital of the principal events in the history of the man whose memory we honor by our exhibition.

Product Description:
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition Illustrative of a Centenary of Artistic Lithography, 1796-1896
This was the first printing from stone of which Senefelder then had any knowledge; and, al though true lithography as we know it to-day (that is, printing from a flat surface) was not evolved by him until two years later, he dates his invention from the time of this happy inci dent, as being the starting-point for all his sub sequent discoveries.
