“[John] Plumbe devised a method whereby his studio copied original photographic images onto a lithographer’s stone by an early
and innovative method of mechanical photoreproduction that still remains a mystery. Plumbeotypes were thus actually lithographs,
but with a difference, for the stones were created with the new process.”--P. 48. LCP AR [Annual Report] 1992.
