hand crafted with love
This extraordinary course has been resurrected in our lithography studio in France. Once again you can acquire the plates from the original drawing course as they were presented in 1875. This set of exceptional lithographs, adopted by international academies of classical art, will remain the definitive reference for the highest level of teaching.
Acid-free, museum quality paper is used for each plate in order to capture the greatest subtleties of each subject. Sometimes the hand-made print is created using two or three variants corresponding to the student’s skill. We provide all of the paper making it possible for the students in your workshop/class to use the exact same paper for each print in order to maintain a perfect match in color, texture, and weight values.
With the help of a great and precise machine weighing more than seven tons, the paper transcribes the most minute details of the original drawing without any printing pattern disturbing the eye. Only the remarkably fine lithographic grain, faithful to hand-ground stones, comes through in an admirable display.
