Additional information
This research uses printed posters, proofs, and artists’ original drawings to describe working methods of chromolithography in the twentieth century, and illustrates lithographic reproductions alongside artists’ original designs. Focusing on transport posters, it discusses the role of commercial lithographic artists in creating complex colour separations, attitudes to commercial and art lithography, and the transition from chromolithography to photolithography.
