Jacob Henry Studer (1840-1904) was a printer, lithographer, painter and popular ornithologist. He is best known as the author of Studer's Popular Ornithology from which these prints are from.
It was illustrated with chromolithographs after paintings done by Theodore Jasper.
Lithography is a method for printing using a stone (Lithographic Limestone) or a metal plate with a completely smooth surface. Lithography uses oil or fat and gum arabic to divide the smooth surface into hydrophobic regions which accept the ink, and hydrophilic regions which reject it and thus become the background.
By contrast, in intaglio printing a plate is engraved, etched or stippled to make cavities to contain the printing ink and in woodblock printing and letterpress ink is applied to raise surfaces of letters or images.
Invented by Bavarian Alois Senefelder in 1796, lithography can be used to print text or artwork on paper.
