Lithographs

Lithography is a method for printing on a smooth surface, according to Wikipedia. It can be used to print text or artwork onto paper or another suitable material. It can also be referred to as a method of semiconductor manufacturing and MEMS devices. Lithography was invented by Alois Senefelder. M.C. Escher was not only excellent with incorporating mathematical concepts like geometry and patterns into his artwork, but he was also talented with proportions, light source, shadows, shading, and textures.
