Description

This lithograph was printed in 1962 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.
