    Senefelder

    Alois Senefelder of Germany was the inventor of lithography. His invention of a new printing process came about by chance while he was seeking a method of reproducing plays and musical scores. Writing in reverse on a piece of limestone with greasy chalk and then dampening the stone, he found that an inked roller would deposit ink only on the chalk. He was working on a method to improve copperplate engraving and was experimenting on Bavarian limestone in place of the more costly copper. His experiments led to the discovery that polished stone, when properly inked and treated with chemicals, would transfer its image onto paper. Thus, was born stone printing, or, as Senefelder called it, chemical printing, the forerunner of lithography. Just one year after Senefelder submitted his model for an automated press in 1817, Bass Otis published the first lithograph in the United States.
