Lithography A printmaking technique that involves drawing with greasy crayons or a liquid called tusche, on a polished slab of limestone; aluminum plates, which are less cumbersome to handle, may also be used. The term is derived from the Greek words for stone (litho) and drawing (graph). When the greasy image is ready to be printed, a chemical mixture is applied across the surface of the stone or plate in order to securely bond it. This surface is then dampened with water, which adheres only to the blank, non-greasy areas. Oily printer’s ink, applied with a roller, sticks to the greasy imagery and not to areas protected by the film of water. Damp paper is placed on top of this surface and run through a press to transfer the image. In addition to the traditional method described here, other types of lithography include offset lithography, photolithography, and transfer lithography. I am new to e-bay and I am learning as I go. I wish to maintain a good standing and keep 100% rating as I continue, so please allow me to make right any mistakes I may make along the way. I will describe and document with photographs as honestly as humanly possible and I will always err on the side of undervaluing and will undercompensate condition in the hopes that you will always receive more than you expect. I have no expertise in any given area. I will try to give an honest opinion and will pass on any information I may have gleaned in my research on each item I describe, but again I emphasize I AM NO EXPERT. When I photograph items under glass and made of glass I do my best to reduce glare and reflections, however I don’t always succeed, so any discoloration you may perceive is just the reflection of my hand or fingers on the glass. More often than not the photographs ARE the description, I take multiple quality pictures and with the zoom tool you should be able to satisfy any question of quality and condition. If there is any damage or defect of the item other than normal wear or aging processes I will always make special note of it in the description and document it with additional photographs. My intent is to make you completely aware of the exact condition of the item you are bidding on so that you may bid with 100% confidence. I will not misrepresent anything I list as there is nothing to be gained by that practice but problems, and the world has more than enough problems without me adding to them. I do not offer returns.
