lithography

This artwork is titled "Home".  It is a print using the lithography method.  This form of printing is done on a flat surface.  The mage is drawn on a stone, it is then treated with an acid and the image is then put into the printer.  Lithography means that the ink is not on or below the surface and has no engraving.  The image id drawn on the stone with a grease-based crayon or ink.  Each color in the piece are done with different stones.  This form of printing became popular in the 19th century
