📸 Fun Fact About Lithographs:
In the 19th century, lithography was closely linked to the rise of photography. Before modern printing presses, artists and publishers used lithographs to reproduce images—often by tracing or transferring photographic negatives onto lithographic plates. This process allowed for highly detailed prints, making lithography one of the first technologies to bridge traditional art and photography.
