A lithograph is a unique original work that exists only in that form, each part of the drawing to be printed is drawn with lithographic ink or crayon onto a stone or a specially treated sheet with individual stones or zincs for each colour. The lithograph is only complete when all colours are printed onto one sheet of paper.
The plates are etched in the traditional way and to print an edition of 99 copies takes about one week of work.
There is no original drawing from which the lithograph is copied: the subject is drawn freehand onto stone and after a few trials /Artist’s Proofs the limited edition run is produced in this case limited to 99.
The HORS DE COMMERCE (HC) are prints outside the edition but are the same as the edition and are used as gifts or payments to those involved in the production of the edition. They are marked “HC” and are usually numbered but not always.
