Default Federal League Lithographic Stone Find...

Posted By: Greg Theberge

What a great piece.

Can someone in the know explain the process of how this was used? I can't recall the use of a "Stone" but it obviously is one. Very interesting. We have some original lithography proofs which are also reversed, but these are actually lithograph images themselves, nothing like this neat stone.

And if you think that puppy is heavy, we recently added a ten foot long Narragansett Brewing Company Terrazzo tile to our beer collection dated to 1916 (there's a newspaper image stuck to the back). That bad boy weighs at least 800-900 pounds and we needed a moving company to get it to the house. It reminds me a lot of this stone in it's construction as seen in the side view.

great piece, congrats!

Greg
