[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 10244409, member: 56"]I can't tell, but he no doubt made preliminary drawings. This tells where the litho was published and gives a size of the print.

You need to show it to someone who could determine if it is by hand. A couple close details might help someone else in expressing an opinion.[/QUOTE]
