How do I identify a lithograph print?
To identify a lithograph print, begin by conducting a reverse image search. By taking a photo with your mobile device and performing a reverse image search, you may quickly find a match and learn the artist, title and other characteristics of your lithograph. Should this method of identification yield no results, look for an artist's signature or publisher's information on the front or back of the piece. Researching the maker or publisher via trusted online resources can help you learn more about your print. For help with the process, consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of lithograph prints.
