Thank you for providing this excellent overview of the lithography processes as well as why it was revolutionary.

The composer from 1790 that he mentioned was Alois Senefelder. I`m surprised he didn`t mention his name.

Cheer~~~a colored picture printed by lithography, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.😊

Beautiful.

Awesome thanks

I have a Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.

I have several prints of this type of chromolithograohy

The composer didn't invent the Lithography. Alois Senefelder, the inventor of Lithography was a playwright. He invented it to reproduce his play. Later he introduced his friend composer Johann Andre who used it to reproduce his musical notes in lithography. Moreover, you don't need ten stones to do ten colors. The same stone would be cleaned, grinded, sketched and colored to get multiple colors. (THE PRINT IN THE WESTERN WORLD, Hults, The university of Wisconsin press, 1996) KZread is sensational. This guy is full of wrong information about Lithography and still managed to be the president of the Museum of Printing. LOL

Thank you for providing this information and, more importantly, its source.

But Mucha was still using chromolithography in the 1900's, he didn't use half tones.
