| Description | In contrast to lithographs made directly on lithographic stones, images for transfer are drawn in lithographic crayon on paper that is specifically coated to allow the drawings to be transferred to stones for professional printing. Whistler first tried the medium in 1878/79 and from 1887 onward used the transfer process almost exclusively to make his lithographs. Whistler's printers, Thomas and Robert Way provided the specially prepared paper. [A work made of lithographic crayon and brush and tusche on coarse-grained transfer paper.] |
