How Much is a 1930s Original Lithograph?
- Is a lithograph an original?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024No, a lithograph is not an original. Lithographs are prints, which are authorized reproductions of works produced by artists. To produce a lithograph, an artist applies an image to a stone. Then, they treat the stone with chemicals to impart the image into it. Finally, they apply ink and transfer the image onto paper or another medium. Shop a large selection of lithographs on 1stDibs.
- What is an original lithograph?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021An original lithograph is a print made by way of a specific printing method (one of the most commonly used methods in the 20th and 21st centuries). With respect to lithography, the process begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). The stone is then covered with water, which is repelled by the oily areas. Oil-based ink is then applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023To tell a lithograph from an original, look for the signature. On originals, the signature will usually be on the back, while a lithograph will showcase the artist's mark on the front. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of lithographs from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if a lithograph is original, first look at it closely with a magnifying glass. Originals will typically display noticeable dots, while copies may lack these details. The artist's signature can also be a clue. Most original lithographs will be hand-signed with ink or pen on the back or in a margin. The signature will be printed on a reproduction. Because it can be difficult in some cases to tell reproductions apart from originals, experts often recommend having prints authenticated by a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealers. Explore a variety of lithographs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a lithograph and an original is that one is used to produce the other. An original is the term for the stone upon which an artist paints an image using an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche, a type of oily wash. The lithograph is the print that an artist makes with an original. To create a lithograph, oil-based ink is applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of lithographs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between an offset lithograph and an original lithograph is that the former is made using the other. To produce an original lithograph, a printmaker begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance. The stone is then covered with water, which is repelled by the oily areas. Oil-based ink is then applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press. An offset lithograph is a copy of an original lithograph produced with mechanical processes, usually without the artist's involvement. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of lithographs and other art prints.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, a lithograph isn’t technically an original work of art. It’s a type of print, but a lithograph is generally more prized than a common print because each lithograph is hand-made by the artist through the process of lithography. They’re usually made in much lower quantities than prints, which are easier to produce on a large scale. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of lithographs from various artists.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Yes, people had record players in the 1930s.

Because many people faced difficult financial situations due to the Great Depression, brides also sometimes simply wore their best dresses on their wedding days. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage wedding dresses.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify 1930s furniture, first see if you can spot a maker's mark in hidden areas, such as the back, base, inside of drawers or under tabletops and seats. Trusted online resources can help you determine who produced your furniture based on these markings, and from there, you can research more to get a rough idea of how old your item is. A piece's characteristics can also be helpful when dating furniture. Many items made during the 1930s are examples of Art Deco furniture.

A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can provide an expert opinion on when your piece was likely made. On 1stDibs, explore a range of 1930s furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023In the 1930s, phones typically looked like rotary telephones.
