Synopsis
Excerpt from La Lithographie A Rouen: Avec un Portrait à l'Eau-Forte
Tout le monde sait que Senefelder est l'inventeur de la lithographie, mais ce que l'on ne sait point, ou ce que l'on sait moins, c'est l'histoire assez curieuse de toutes les vicissitudes qui présidèrent à la naissance de cet art et des tâtonnements successifs auxquels dut se livrer le chercheur allemand depuis ses premiers essais jusqu'au jour où une circonstance fortuite lui révéla le secret de la découverte qui devait faire sa gloire.
