Lithography is an labor intensive technique - especially on a large scale - which required up to 20 manual print-cycles for a single piece

Carl Gerold´s Sohn published 'Hartinger's Wall Plates for the Education in Natural History'

Pfurtscheller (1855 - 1927) produced a series of 39 "Zoologische Wandtafeln" (zoological wall plates) to be used for higher educational purposes

The snake is "Plate 26" in the series and easily one of the most striking compositions that Pfurtscheller had created

Lithography of course is an enormously demanding technique - especially at this large-scale which required 15 to 20 manual print-cycles for a single piece
