Lithography

Printing technique using a planographic process in which prints are pulled on a special press from a flat stone or metal surface that has been chemically sensitized so that- ink sticks
only to the design areas, and is repelled by the non-image areas.
Lithography was invented in 1798 in Solnhofen,
Germany by Alois Senefelder. The early history of
lithography is dominated by great French artists such
as Daumier and Delacroix, and later by Degas,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Braque and Mir6.
