[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 583223, member: 201"]Nice print. :) I've had many prints and postcards published by Stehli Freres, most circa 1940s or 1950s. Stehli Freres used a continuous-tone process that produced wonderful images without the small dots you see in offset printing. I don't know exactly what their process was, but their prints were mass-produced so they're not considered originals. I also don't know what term they used for their process. It's possible they called them "chromolithographs" or "chromoliths," but usually those terms are used for a late 19th century process that yields images with dots that are irregularly sized and placed. The Stehli Freres prints don't have those types of dots.[/QUOTE]
