Lithograph means "stone print". Invented in 1796 by Alois Senfelder, it works on the simple principle that oil and water don't mix. An image is drawn with oil, fat or wax onto the surface of a smooth, level lithographic limestone plate. The stone is treated with a mixture of acid and gum arabic, etching the portions of the stone that were not protected by the grease based image. When the stone was moistened, those etched areas retained water; an oil based ink could then be applied and would be repelled by the water, sticking only to the original drawing. The ink would be transferred to a blank paper sheet, producing a printed page.

By 1820, lithography was widely adopted by the best artists of the century. This technique was popular because the artist could draw his own illustration directly on the lithographic stone. Prints could be made from the drawing with no intermediary such as an engraver. Accurately reproduced and then colored by hand, the resulting illustrations gave the impression of original watercolor paintings. Even with the excellent methods of color reproduction as the chromolithograph, the beauty of hand-coloring is rarely surpassed.

Chromolithograph is a method for making multi-color prints and includes all lithographs. Lithographers developed a way to pint on flat surfaces with the use of chemicals instead of relief or intaligo printing. Depending on the number of colors present, a chromolithograph can take months to produce. The goal was to gradually build and correct a lithograph using dozens of layers to accomplish the complete picture. As a process, this was time consuming, cumbersome and contingent upon the skill of the lithographer.
