It is a mechanical planographic process in which the printing and non-printing areas of the plate are all at the same level, as opposed to intaglio and relief processes in which the design is cut into the printing block. Lithography is based on the fact that oil and water repel one another. Designs are drawn or painted with greasy ink or crayons on specially prepared limestone. The stone is moistened with water, which the stone accepts in areas not covered by the crayon. An oily ink, applied with a roller, adheres only to the drawing and is repelled by the wet parts of the stone. The print is then made by pressing paper against the inked drawing.  Alois Senefelder invented lithography in 1798.   During the 19th cent., <u>steel engraving</u> lithography enjoyed a short popularity as a reproduction process because it made possible a large number of proofs, but it was superseded by photomechanical processes (such as photoengraving).  <u>Photoengraving</u> is <span class="title">a </span>photomechanical process used principally for reproducing illustrations. The subject/object is photographed, and the image is recorded on a sensitized metal plate, which is then etched in an acid bath.  The photogravure is a photographic image produced from an engraving plate. The process is rarely used today due to the costs involved, but it produces prints which have the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph. In essence, the production of a photogravure consists of three steps: taking the picture; producing a printing plate of the image; and printing the image on paper.  In the case of halftone cuts, the work is done on copper. The halftone effect is accomplished by photographing the subject through a wire or glass screen, which breaks the light rays so that the metal plate is sensitized in a dotted pattern; the larger dots create the darker areas, the smaller dots the high lights. The finer the screen, the greater the precision of detail in the printed product.</font></p></blockquote><p style="border-style: groove; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);" align="center"><font color="#ffff00" size="5">PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS and EBAY STORE </font></p><p style="border-style: groove; background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);"><b><font color="#0000ff" size="5">Condition</font><font size="4">:</font></b><font size="3"> </font><font size="5">Excellent.  Corners show very minor wear.</font></p><p style="border-style: groove;"><b><font size="5"><font color="#0000ff">Shipping costs:</font>  Shipping costs on this item are <font color="#ff0000">$3.00</font></font><font size="4">  My shipping costs are calculated on three factors - getting your item to you as quickly as possible, as cost effectively as possible, and as safely as possible.  I use First Class or Priority Mail on most small items; Parcel Post on larger items; and Media Mail on books and magazines.
