* Le Brussel, act. early 19th century- "Aloys Senefelder"; lithograph, after Jabard, full sheet with margins, on cream wove, 31x24cm, (unframed) Note: Senefelder the inventor of lithography; Problems with the printing of his play Mathilde von Altenstein caused him to fall into debt, and unable to afford to publish his new play, playing with an etching technique using a greasy, acid resistant ink as a resist on a smooth fine-grained stone of Solnhofen Limestone. He then discovered that this could be extended to allow printing from the flat surface of the stone alone, the first Planogrphic process in printing. He joined with the André family of music publishers and gradually perfected his technique into a workable state. He called it "stone printing" or "chemical printing", but the French name "lithography" has stuck.
