LITHOGRAPHY as an invention was an offspring of
that fruitful mother—Necessity. Seventy years ago
a poor young actor in Munich, named Senefelder, having
written one or two comedies, and not having the means to
publish them, was trying various methods of engraving
his em on
his own printer ; but, inasmuch
Copper plates and otherwise,
with
a view
as his writings had to be executed backwards on the plate
works,iby of etching
becomingt h
in order to read forwards when reversed in printing, he
was obliged to practise this back-engraving on some cheaper
substance than copper plates; and accordingly he pro-
cured some Kilhelm stone, which he found to be a suitable
material for his purpose. In his etching experiments he
made use of an oleaginous inky compound,
capable of re-
sisting the acid used in the etching process. On one occa-
sion he was desired by his mother to take a list of articles
about to "go to the wash," and,
as his most convenient
writing materials at hand were one of his stone slabs and
his etching ink, the list was duly made out upon the
stone. When the time came to rub it off, it occurred to
him that by eating away with acid the parts of the stone
uncovered by the writing-ink, so as to obtain the writing
in relief, he might be able to print from it. This he suc-
ceeded in doing ; and he moreover found that it was not
necessary to have the letters raised above the stone, as the
chemical properties which kept grease and water separate
were quite sufficient to keep the ink, when applied by the
dabber, from adhering to any other part of the stone than
the greasy letters. Improvement followed discovery, and
after devoting attention to the perfection of a press and
suitable printing appliances, and having found a partner in
the person of a musician,liossessed of a small capital, to
help him, Senefelder published his first lithographs, some
pieces of music, in 1796. H
i e patented his process in vari-
ous countries, and in 1801 t was introduced into England,
whore it was first used in the Quartermaster-General's
office at the Horse Guards for printing maps of the seat of
war, and plans of battles and engagements.--Once a Week.
THE WEATHER IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. —A
letter from Cannes says :—"We have literally no winter
here: Many trees and shrubs are covered with flowers,
amongst them the orange, which furnish their blossoms
just as in the month of May. Whole beds of rose-trees;
with buds innumerable, also present a charming spectacle."
