I have discovered the world of lithographic nature prints and it is some delightfully interesting nightmare fuel
On this first #Feathursday of 2019, we present four chromolithographic plates of some winter-loving birds – most of which may be seen in the Upper Midwest during this month – from the 1907 edition of 'Bird-Life, A Guide to the Study of our Common Birds' by Frank M. Chapman.
For #BotanicMonday, explore chromolithographic proof impressions of #orchid watercolor drawings, unsigned but possibly by H.G Moon & probably destined for a 3rd series of Frederick Sander's "Reichenbachia." #OpenAccess in #BHLib via@chicagobotanic ➡️ https://t.co/cdXeQMZV0b
"Lithographica" is a vintage-style depiction of some of the biodiversity of the Solnhofen Limestone, a bountiful fossil formation in Germany. I wanted to show what a naturalist might have seen walking amongst the islands and lagoons of Jurassic Europe.
Since the winner of @GreyGriffon's #TheSummonENGH2018 #paleoart contest is being announced tomorrow, I thought I'd share the entries I submitted: "Lithographica", "Wrong Branch", and "The Treachery of Retro Paleoart"

Experimenting with lithographic crayons for on-site drawing. These are from the scenic HEB Foundation Camp, where our church had a retreat last weekend. I think my paper was too textured to get the look I wanted. @laitylodge

Archaeopteryx lithographica // @franzanth
The discovery of this "first bird” from the Jurassic Period Germany in 1861 ignited the idea that birds descended from dinosaurs. Despite this, it likely couldn't fly and spent most of its time on the ground.
