MAEDA 15sen NK fakes ... photolithography

TRANSFER PROCESS: 

In another of Senefelder’s experiments, he found an additional

attribute of lithography: a drawing or
writing done in special ink on special paper
could be transferred from the paper to the lithographic
stone where it became the printing
image. This allowed the artist to draw the
original reading right instead of backwards,
which was necessary when drawing directly
onto the stone. The same process could used
to transfer an image printed by other printing
processes onto the stone. This allowed several
identical images to placed on the same stone,
thus increasing productivity. It also helped
increase the popularity of lithography as a
copying process because previously printed
images could be transferred to the stone to be
reproduced.

In an attempt to reduce his publications
costs, he tried to produce his own copperplate
engravings. Making reverse images in copper
was a very difficult process, a process that
required much time and practice to master.

this is first MAEDA NK fake derived from KB4 plate
