Lithographic Press.

Lithographic Press.

R. Ackermann's Lithog.s [c.1820].
Lithograph, sheet 225 x 280mm (8¾ x 11").
Press used for making lithographs (of which this print is itself an example). To make a lithograph, an image is created on a slab of porous limestone, which is then imprinted on sheets of paper using a process based on the antipathy of grease and water to distinguish between inked and non-inked areas. Rudolf Ackermann, publisher of this print, was one of the first publishers to use lithography on a large commercial scale.
