Dave SnyderI'm sure this topic has been covered more than once over the years, but I can't seem to find any specific reference to it. Anyway, here's the question.....
A buddy of mine who has watched me collect the T206 set over the past couple years is an artist and a graphic designer and has become intrigued with how the set was made. Specifically, after an image was selected (say Nap Lajoie throwing), what was the next step? Did a full size painting have to be done first which was then reduced during the lithographic process? He's insisting that this had to be done, but I'm wondering why we've never seen any of these "original paintings" if that is in fact the case?
Any light that could be shed on this would be much appreciated.
