Lithography
A printing process based on the principle of the natural aversion of water to grease. The photographically prepared printing plate when being made is treated chemically so that the image will accept ink and reject water.

Lithography
(n.)
The art or process of putting designs or writing, with a greasy material, on stone, and of producing printed impressions therefrom. The process depends, in the main, upon the antipathy between grease and water, which prevents a printing ink containing oil from adhering to wetted parts of the stone not covered by the design. See Lithographic limestone, under Lithographic.

Lithography,Lithographs
A method created in the late eighteenth century, of printing from a prepared flat stone, or a plate. A drawing is made on the stone or plate with a greasy crayon or tusche, and then washed with water. When ink is applied it sticks to the greasy drawing is resisted by the wet surface allowing a print to be made of the drawing. The artist then covers the plate with a sheet of paper and runs both through a press under light pressure. For color lithography separate drawings are made for each color. George Catlin, Doris Lee, Grant Wood, Louis Lozowick, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Honoré Daumier were all masters of Lithography.

Lithography
Printing technique using a planographic process in which prints are pulled on a special press from a flat stone or metal surface that has been chemically sensitized so that- ink sticks
only to the design areas, and is repelled by the non-image areas.
Lithography was invented in 1798 in Solnhofen,
Germany by Alois Senefelder. The early history of
lithography is dominated by great French artists such
as Daumier and Delacroix, and later by Degas,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Braque and Mir6.

Lithography
Printing technique in which image areas on a lithograph stone or metal plate and are chemically treated to accept ink and repel water, while non-image areas repel ink and retain water. Because the printing surface is flat, lithography is sometimes refered to as a "pianographic technique".

Invented by Bavarian author Alois Senefelder in 1796, lithography is a method for printing on a smooth surface. It can be used to print text or artwork onto paper or another suitable material. It can also refer to photolithography, a microfabrication technique used to make integrated circuits and microelectromechanical systems.
