Our Gallery is excellent , I saw there some of finest technical qualities. One of them is Lith. Lith transforms a foliage in to a hand made drawing - engraving effect. I have some of the best engraved postal stamps in the history and I have some of catalogs about Van Gogh Arles late landscape drawings. Common thing is the lively rhytm of the details and the hand that makes it. I read one of the most important qualities of Van Gogh , is his rhytm. I found same is there at some of the lith processed images at the gallery.
Lith, Some of the marvellously small and realistic engravings of aerial look to the fields , crop areas , where every botany was so dense and representing this density with hand on to engraving and drawing requires intense genius , creativity and tireless work.

PS. Please look at the densest areas closely at the above photograph and the hand mades , especially foliage.
Details stacked in to the small cells in the photographs where line angles rotates from one direction to an other.
I read some members claims its not necessary to look in to the photographs from close distances. Thats wrong , dont they believe in microscopes. I have 40x loupe microscope with light and I sail in to the details on the paper.
Thats the beauty and reasoning in search.
I believe lith prints are the most exiting technique at gallery.
Let me share my view more
There is a forum called stampboard and there are thousands of stamp engraving scans.
Modern lenses especially japanese lenses and the modern engravings have a common thing , from beginning of smallest detail to macro view , light is symmetrically distributed on either slope of object relief details.
Its so perfect , its so boring and not provacative.
Older the engraving , asymmetrical lights and shadows put more drama on the subject.
Well , you can claim , you went to museum and looked to rodin and saw everything well illuminated and diffused illuminated but older the art , you find my view on the subject and we make not women make up ads where nivea girl looks like a paper after retouch.
I love drama and Leica lenses gives it. Many others also but I dont have hardware to use them , like Dagor, Wollensak etc.
