    Until I saw this just now, I couldn't really understand how analog reproduction of art was done, before we had scanners and printers. Hand drawing each separation on it's own plate seemed a far fetched idea to me, for some reason. Now I know it is that intensive a process.

      Thank you for your interest. Orthographic Lithography of this type creates "original lithographs" of limited editions. In other words, the edition is of multiple, nearly identical artwork.

It's always struck me that of all the artists our father worked with, Russ was most able to use the press as a painter.

      @Playlist Overload for anyone wanting answers to these types of questions ie how was art reproduced before the twentieth century: a good place to go is the gift shop section of any major State or National Gallery. Usually there are many books you can browse through, the staff are usually happy to help you find the book that will explain all or most of the historical stuff. (of course they are happier still if you buy the book, but...usually they don't mind if you have a genuine desire to know something). Alrecht Durers fantastic etched drawings are a good place to start! 17th century i think it was...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. A piece of gold here. I wish I could find a printer to work with and keep this craft alive. I dont know of anyone doing anything like this near me
