Early stamping and printing methods in 19th century lithographs
Lithography comes from ancient Greek. Litho- meaning stone and Graphin meaning to write. It is a method of printing based on the admissibility of oil and water. Utilizing a flat limestone surface, a certain kind of limestone coming out of a particular area of Germany had the right porosity to become a lithograph. First developed in 1796, by Alois Senfelder, an actor, writer and utilized the process in theatrical works.
Intaglio printing in the 19th Century New York City art work required cutting into metal or wood.
In the intaglio printing process, the lines to be printed are cut into a wood or metal plate either being copperplate, steel, zinc or brass. The cutting tool is called a burin. The process is called engraving. Corrosive action using acid is the process known as etching. An example of etching is where the plate is covered in an resin ground or an acid resistant wax material. The burin cuts through this material revealing the plate underneath, and then the plate is dipped into acid and the acid burns into the plate that was exposed.
