Origin:
1700–10; < Neo-Latin lithographia. See litho-, -graphy
a method of printing from a metal or stone surface on which the printing areas are not raised but made ink-receptive while the non-image areas are made ink-repellent
1813, from Ger. Lithographie (c.1804), coined from Gk. lithos “stone” + graphein “write.” The original printing surfaces were of stone. Process invented 1796 by Alois Senefelder of Munich (1771-1833). Hence, lithograph “a lithographic print,” a back-formation first attested 1828. Earlier senses, now
