Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lithography And finally, that the printing of a lithograph may be as artistic as the printing of an etching. This to the professional lithographer is a crime, to the artist a delight. To the professional printer the prints must look just like the artist's drawing, and all be alike. The fact that the artist sees the glimmer of new grace in his work as he prints - the germ of an idea as he goes ou - a new scheme of color as he experiments - is to be suppressed, and the professional lithographer suppresses it; he has been trained to believe litho graphs ought to be as like as two peas. The artist has collapsed under expense - mystery and this artless lithographic ideal. The few who for got these lithographic canons, the trade-unions tried to stifle and drive from the practice of the art.
