Practical Lithography

"Practical Lithography" by Alfred Seymour is a guide to the world of lithographic printing, a technique that uses stone or metal plates to create prints. The book begins by explaining the history of lithography and the important work of Alois Senefelder, who invented it. The readers will understand why using the right kind of stone, especially Bavarian limestone, is a must for making good prints. Seymour looks at both old-fashioned ways of doing things and the latest machines, showing how both are important for making top-notch lithographs; setting the stage for exploring various printing methods.
