    What a bunch of gorgeous lithographs. I saw in the link that they are identified as etchings–are you sure of that?

    Lithographs clues are: the edges are varied, there is no evidence of embossment, and the delicious grainy background which shows the tooth (texture) of a lithographic stone or plate.

    Etching or litho, they are marvelous and thanks for publishing them.
