The actual "printing" of millions of T206 cards using Stones is going back to the "stone-age"
Actually, engraved images from the stones were then transferred to metal plates to be printed.
The American Lithographic Bldg. (where the T206 cards were printed) still stands in NYC at the
corner of 19th St. and 5th Ave. They used
19" wide cylindrical presses to produce the T206
cards.
Illustrated here is my concept......using the example of the
Exclusive 12 cards in the 460-only
Series. I base this concept on American Lithograph's use of 19" wide cylindrical presses and the
standard size
19" x 24" cardboard sheets of that period (1909 - 1911).

This topic has been discussed on Net54 as far back as 2007 (and several more times since then).
