Lithography
Lithography is a method of
printing originally based on the
immiscibility of oil and water. The printing is from a stone (
lithographic limestone) or a metal plate with a smooth surface. It was invented in 1796 by German author and actor
Alois Senefelder as a cheap method of publishing theatrical works. Lithography can be used to print text or
artwork onto paper or other suitable material.

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.
