  • Great Introduction!

    The interview of Michael Barnes was a terrific introduction to both the history and process of lithography.This episode, like so many other Platemark podcasts, was so packed with information, I then watched the Youtube video after I listened to the audio podcast and did a deep dive on all the images and links in the podcast notes. Fantastic!  It was also great to hear of the pain a collector endures trying to possess an object of their desire!
