A STORY OF LITHOGRAPHY

 

According to the lithograph "THE SCREAM" by Edvard Munch of 1895 (Drawing made for the achievement of his most famous lithograph, with the given title of “The Scream”).
This lithograph is up to now one of the most expensive in the world : Some Hand-Colored copies could reach several millions of Euros.
We are proud to present it for the first time in the world for republishing.
The very first prints of this lithograph were issued in black and white in Berlin in 1895.
When we have decided to go into this new editing project, we never left anything to chance..
Wiser with this expertise and experience, we have used drawing and editing techniques that were absolutely identical to the ones used by Munch.
