A lovely stone lithographic print block.
 
Lithography is a method of printing originally based on the use of oil and water which is dependent on the two not mixing. The printing is from the stone with a smooth surface.
 
The method was invented in 1796 by German author and actor Alois Senefelder as a cheap method of publishing theatrical works.
