I'm about halfway there.

I can get the process for almost everything I come across in person, less by seeing scans. Really good woodcuts are difficult, especially ones done on the endgrain of a hardwood like Maple.

Oddly T205 backs were a challenge, should be lithographed, but have lots of indicators of type being used. Then I found out that a common process of the time involved laying out litho plates with transfers - which could be printed from either a master litho plate or set type.

I've done a small bit of many of the common things. Lithograph, etching, engraving, wood block, linoleum, silkscreen, Maybe one or two others.

Someday when I find my stack of prints from HS I'll photo or scan a few.
