Lithography stone displays etched images, handwritten notes, and wear.

Photo: David Christensen

A lithography stone from David Christensen's 'Plattenkalk' series, photographed in 2026, shows etched imagery and handwritten annotations. The rectangular stone, with a chipped upper left corner, features two distinct horizontal sections of etched designs. The upper section contains a rectangular area with horizontal lines, while the lower section depicts undulating, wave-like patterns. Below the etched designs, handwritten text reads "+ 1.00" with an arrow pointing downwards, indicating a measurement or instruction. The stone exhibits signs of use and wear, consistent with its function in the lithographic process. This image is part of a documentary project focusing on lithography stones.
