Artist/ Maker
Monsohn, A. L., Lithograph in Jerusalem (1870-1930)
{"3238":"Monsohn was the first printer of color stone lithograph in the Holy Land. Initially, Monsohn could not get permission to open a letterpress publishing shop by the Ottoman authorities, who felt there were already enough printers in Jerusalem. Monsohn went to Germany in 1890 to learn the art of stone lithography. He returned, established his press in 1892, and remained the only multicolored printer through the 1920s."}
