Beschreibung

Approx Overall Size with Margins: 6 x 9 1/2 inches CONDITION: Excellent Condition. Blank on the back. Image is clean, clear, sharp with beautiful detail. As scanned. The art of producing lithographs by steps in panels involves a meticulous process of image reproduction onto a flat surface, typically stone or metal plates, utilizing the principle of oil and water repulsion. Lithography, a printing technique developed in the late 18th century, relies on the concept that oil-based ink adheres to the image areas on the printing surface while being repelled by the water-based solution in non-image areas. The process begins by preparing the lithographic surface, often through graining or etching, to create a receptive surface for the image. Then, the image is drawn or transferred onto the surface using greasy materials like lithographic crayons or tusche. Each color requires a separate plate or panel, with intricate registration to ensure alignment during printing. Once the image is fully transferred, the panels undergo a series of chemical treatments to fix the image and prepare it for printing. The final result is a high-quality reproduction with precise detail and vibrant colors, showcasing the artistry and technical skill involved in the lithographic process. NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE PRINT. It is NOT a modern reproduction, ie. a laser scan, photocopy etc. It is the original from the antique atlas or book publication. This map/print was published on the date mentioned, or circa of the date mentioned at the top of the page. The print/map I have for sale, like many antique maps and prints that you see online, originate from an antique book or atlas publication. The publication may not always be known.
