What is the difference between a canvas and a lithograph?
The difference between a canvas and a lithograph is format. A canvas is a piece of art that displays a painting or a print. It can be outfitted with hardware and hung directly on a wall. A lithograph is a type of print produced by applying ink to a stone and then transferring an image onto paper. Usually, you need to frame a lithograph prior to mounting it on a wall.
