Production notes
Although this work is described as a lithograph in Ethel Carrick exhibitions (1933, 1934, 1938 and 1942) all impressions I have seen are collotypes (a photomechanical printing process that can print continuous tone ). The process can be applied to stones, metal or glass plates. The images I have examined have a distinct plate-mark and under magnification the reticulated pattern of the gelatin is clearly visible. All are printed on chine collé.
