Since its invention by Alois Senefelder in 1798, lithography has always been perceived as the most difficult printmaking process to master. The technical skill required by complexity of printing from stone, has thus not surprisingly required some measure of collaboration between an artist and a printer.
 
In this book, published by the School of Art Press to coincide with the exhibition of British Lithography held at the School of Art Aberystwyth (24 October 2022 – 27 January 2023), Croft presents a unique studio practitioner’s insight into the history of lithography in Britain, providing a view of collaborative practice that is not often recognised, discussed, or even acknowledged.
