What is a "lithograph"?
A lithograph is a print made from a drawing on a flat stone or metal plate. The artist draws with a special crayon or ink on the surface, and then the plate is prepared so that the drawing can hold ink, while the rest of the plate does not. The plate is then covered with ink and pressed onto paper. This transfers the image onto the paper. Lithographs are known for their clear, detailed results and are often used for making multiple copies of artworks, posters, and illustrations.
