Description
This lithograph was printed in 1956 by a company in Atlanta,
Georgia. At that time, the original painting was owned by Mary
Mobley. Miss Mobley had an exclusive and famous frame shop in
Atlanta and she had several different lithographs of Menaboni’s art
produced in the hopes of selling them as well as the framing at her
business.
Creating this lithograph was very different from normal printing. To
produce it, the paper went through the printer each time a new
color was added. Thus great care was needed to make sure the
paper was meticulously in line (note the small red mark on the right
side) or the work could have been destroyed. Today printing is
much cheaper due to computers just using a series of dots to make
various colors in a matter of seconds. Although not an original, a
lithograph is considered a work of art.
Do not hang the art in direct sunlight, and use acid free framing
materials along with conservation glass to help preserve the colors
and the paper.
