A photo of a litho stone with an inked image on its surface. It is an antique lithography stone with hand-drawn and etched Victorian advertising images — likely intended for printing on trade cards or packaging — c. late nineteenth century. One side features the clothing store of F.W. Humphrey & Co., which stood at the northeast corner of Broadway and Pine Street in St. Louis, Missouri.

TIL that lithographic-quality stone — once quarried only in a few places in Germany —was also quarried in Iowa, from a deposit that extends into Minnesota. However when metal plate printing replaced lithographic printing 100 years ago that quarry closed.
