Technical innovations and revivals, creative exploration in all mediums, and a growing market for all kinds of drawn and printed images helped define the nineteenth-century art world. This period witnessed the invention of lithography, a revival of etching, and the resurgence of the “painter-printmaker,” allowing artists to experiment with technique, color, and reproduction in new and revelatory ways. While some artists, like Edouard Manet, used printmaking as a means to popularize their paintings, others, like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, explored the possibilities of printmaking to produce original works of art.
