Henri Marie Raymond De Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (1864- 1901) - Au bal des étudiants (1894) - lithography 57.3 x 38.7 cm - GAM Gallery of Modern Art, Milan
The Crystal Palace was the largest glass and iron structure built up to that point in history, and it was a significant achievement in structural engineering. Originally erected in Hyde Park, London, for the Great Exhibition of 1851, it was a groundbreaking structure made from cast iron and plate glass.
The Crystal Palace was enormous, spanning 1,851 feet in length and 128 feet in height, and it housed a 990,000-square-foot exhibition space. It was a pioneering example of using prefabricated cast iron and glass, which were relatively new materials at the time. Despite its size, the Crystal Palace was completed in a remarkably short period of 39 weeks using modular construction techniques.
The Crystal Palace demonstrated the potential of industrial-age materials and construction methods, influencing the design of future large-scale structures. It became a symbol of the Victorian era and British Empire's technological prowess. While the Crystal Palace was later moved and eventually destroyed by fire in 1936, its legacy as a groundbreaking glass and iron structure remains.

Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume (not included here) lacked Thomas’ touch.

After so much time I’ve found a good 19th century copy of this picture. Just arrived from USA. A good lithography with its original simple, bold wooden frame. Really happy. I owe so much to this picture, but that one it is a long story.
A press bed half-way out of the press just after a print has been made.
This is just one of 59 similar photos that comprise a single take in a short stop-motion animation I have recently helped make. Also the first time I had a chance to experiment with flash lighting.

Pentti Sammallahti was born in 1950 in Helsinki, Finland. He began photographing at 11 and by 1971 began to exhibit extensively in Finland and throughout the world. Sammallahti has travelled widely as a photographer, from his native Scandinavia, across the Soviet Republics through Siberia, to Japan, India, Nepal, Morocco, Turkey, across Europe and Great Britain, and even to South Africa. Sammallahti’s travels and interest in fine printing and lithography has led him to publish numerous portfolios of which the largest and most well known is “The Russian Way” (1996). As a benchmark figure in contemporary Finnish photography, his work has a supernatural sense of a moment in time with the sensitivity and beauty of the world displayed through its animalistic existence. His particular use of dogs, which reflects the human existential experience, shows the shared nature of the earth with a gentle humor and fleeting attitude. Sammallahti describes himself as a wanderer who likes the nature of the great north, the silence, the cold, and the sea. He likes the people and the animals of far off places and he records the relationships between them and their environment.
As a master craftsman, he meticulously tones his prints, which in turn helps to produce the images and display the brief moments in time. As a passionate seeker of the perfect mechanical printing method, his own innovative printing techniques and reintroduction of the portfolio form have re-awakened broader interest in published photographic art. Influenced by the idea of ‘artist books’ – individual works in which the artist is responsible for the whole: photography, the making of prints, layout, design and typography, reproduction and often the actual printing process either with the offset or the gravure method.
Sammallahti taught at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki for 17 Years, retiring when he received a 15-year grant in 1991 from the Finnish government, an unusually long endowment, which is no longer awarded. He had a solo exhibition at Paris' Mois de la Photographie in 1996 and another in 1998 at Houston Fotofest, Texas. In 2001 the Helsinki University of Art and Design awarded Pentti Sammallahti the title of Honorary Doctorate in Art. In 2004, the famous French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson ranked Sammallahti among his 100 favorite photographers for his Foundation's inaugural exhibition in Paris. The French Photo Poche book series published his book edited by Robert Delpire in 2005, and the same year, Sammallahti had a personal exhibition at the International Photography Festival in Arles. As a teacher, he has had an enormous influence on a whole generation of documentary photographers in Finland. Since 1979, Pentti Sammallahti has published thirteen books and portfolios and has received awards such as the Samuli Paulaharju Prize of the Finnish Literature Society, State Prizes for Photography, Uusimaa Province Art Prize, Daniel Nyblin Prize, and the Finnish Critics Association Annual.
Among museum collections Sammallahti’s work can be found at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, USA; Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, France; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, Germany; Moderna Museet / Fotografiska Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; and The Finnish State Collections and the Photographic Museum of Finland.

Ossip, artiste plasticien français d’origine biélorusse, est surtout connu comme sculpteur, mais a aussi laissé une oeuvre importante de lithographies et de gouaches. Son oeuvre montre les influences à la fois du cubisme, du surréalisme et de l’art primitif africain. Ses premières créations présentent une forme fermée et une structure en bloc. Plus tard, ses sculptures prennent de la distance par rapport à la structure, dans une relation harmonieuse de vides et de volumes.
‘Le Poète’ est une sculpture de bronze reposant sur un socle constitué de pierres carrées. La statue exprime de manière sensible ‘le chantre de la liberté’. La commune de Knokke-Heist a acheté la statue suite à l’exposition de Zadkine au Casino de Knokke en 1963. ‘Le Poète’ serre la lyre d’Orphée contre sa poitrine : c’est la sculpture ‘inachevée’ d’un homme issu d’une branche noueuse, avec des hiéroglyphes/fragments du poème ‘Liberté’ de Paul Eluard.

Later, his sculptures take a distance from the structure, in a harmonious relationship of voids and volumes.
'The Poet' is a bronze sculpture resting on a pedestal made of square stones. The statue expresses in a sensitive way 'the cantor of freedom'. The municipality of Knokke-Heist bought the statue after the Zadkine exhibition at the Knokke Casino in 1963. 'The Poet' squeezes Orpheus' lyre against his chest: it is the 'unfinished' sculpture of a man from a gnarled branch, with hieroglyphs / fragments of the poem 'Liberté' by Paul Eluard.

Last Sunday, despite the bitterly cold weather, I went out to take pictures. I spotted two horses in a field. When I stepped out of the car, they both started heading towards me and came right up to the fence.
I'm sure they would have wanted a treat but I did not have anything to give them, so they were trying to eat my lens!!!
But they were very gentle and let me pet them.
It was such a sweet encounter and it made my day. They are such beautiful animals!

Malgré le temps très froid qu’il faisait dimanche, je suis sortie prendre des photos. J’ai aperçu deux chevaux dans un champ. Au sortir de ma voiture, ils se sont tous les deux dirigés vers moi et sont venus jusqu'au chemin.
Ils avaient l’air d’espérer que j’aie quelque chose à leur donner, mais malheureusement, je n’avais rien. Ils essayaient donc de manger mon objectif!!!
Ils se tenaient là paisibles et ils m’ont laissée les flatter.
Ce fut une douce rencontre qui a illuminé ma journée. Ce sont de si beaux animaux!
HMBT!

The first Davis machines were produced in about 1860 by Job E. Davis himself. The Davis Sewing Machine Company came into existence in about 1868. It was 1924 when the company finally went out of business and changed into the Huffman Manufacturing Company which produced bicycles and not sewing machines.
Leopold C. Schumacher (1849-1914) and Louis Ettlinger (1845-1927) were in business as Schumacher & Ettlinger from 1870 to 1895 and were famous for their cigar box labels and fine lithographic cards. In 1882 Ettlinger commissioned architect Edward E. Raht to erect a modern printing house at 32-36 Bleeker Street in New York City. In 1892 Schumacher & Ettlinger merged with other printers to form the “American Lithographic Company” with Schumacher and Ettlinger as principal officers. The building was enlarged to accommodate the new company and it has changed hands several times since its printing days. After a multimillion-dollar conversion at the dawn of the 21st century, the building now houses luxury condominiums.
