"When you draw with a grease pencil (or a special ink) on a lithographic stone, and print limited editions of your artwork from it, you are reviving a once-commercial practice that was the basis of today's widespread, offset printing industry. Moreover, today's "return to Nature" movement is artfully exemplified in working by hand with the old-fashioned, lithographic stone, as this brings the artist into the closest possible correlation with natural materials. .When your drawing is printed from the stone, the printed image is the same size as the drawn image. It is not in any way changed or distorted as may be done by photographic means, either by line or screen process. … Manly Banister, artist and author of books on etching and printmaking, shows how you can make changes in your drawing at any time, even during the course of printing, by the proper use of certain chemicals and the regular drawing materials. Your drawing is printed with a crisp line or a soft texture, however you may have chosen to treat the stone. So, at will, you can add a dimension of unusual beauty to your work, particularly when you are printing in color, a process that is fully described in this book. . In this complete coverage of the mechanics of fine arts lithography, the emphasis is on printing from stones, but Mr. Banister does not ignore the metal printing plate, often used instead of or as an accompaniment to the stone. In addition to a discussion of commercially available litho presses, he tells how to construct an inexpensive press of your own, using an adaptation of the box press design originally conceived by Senefelder, the inventor of lithog-raphy. He shows cost-saving ways to work and the use of the right tools and equipment, including ink rollers and inks. . He shows how to keep the work area clean and how to obtain original results from the means at your command. … From this book you will learn how the physical fact that grease and water repel each other has led to the stupendous growth of today's modern printing industry and how you, too, can apply this principle in your own studio workshop to produce your own, original, lithographic prints. … A gallery of lithographs by famous artists is included in the book, featuring such masters as Toulouse-Lautrec, Daumier, Kollwitz, and Picasso, among others".
