Close-up of Lithography Stone with Stenciled Numbers and Letters
Photo: David Christensen
A lithography stone, part of David Christensen's 'Plattenkalk' series, stands vertically against a dark background in 2026. The light-toned stone surface displays stenciled numbers '8', '3', '10', '4', '2' and the letter 'a' (or 'e' rotated). Faint grid lines and scratches are visible across the stone's surface, indicating its use in the lithographic process. The bottom edge of the stone shows wear and minor chipping, resting on a flat, textured surface.
