<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9498805, member: 8267&quot;]Try looking at the entries for lithography and offset lithography on this website:</p><p><a href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=226#overview" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=226#overview" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=226#overview</a></p><p><a href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=46#overview" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=46#overview" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphicsatlas.org/identification/?process_id=46#overview</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As they point out, &quot;lithographic images can be difficult to distinguish from other graphic processes because familiar tools were used to apply the image to the stone, resulting in images without unique aesthetic characteristics. The most important identifying feature is the relationship between the ink and the paper—they are on the same plane.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The most common types of monochromatic lithographs are pen and ink style, chalk-manner, and transfer. Pen and ink style lithographs appear similar to line drawings. The image was drawn onto the stone with pen and brush.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Additionally, broad areas of solid, even tone were possible because large areas could be covered with a greasy medium allowing ink to be receptive to these large areas. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The larger flat black areas in your closeups are what made me suspect a lithograph. But it can be difficult to identify them even when you have them in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
