How do I identify an old lithograph?
The simplest way to identify an old lithograph is by the signature. Take a picture of it, and then conduct a reverse image search to determine who the artist is, or type the name into a search engine if it is legible. Once you've identified the artist, you explore their work online and in catalogues to learn more and potentially identify the lithograph. If you have any difficulties, a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer can be of assistance. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of lithographs.
