The Book on Melinda Miles




The Lithographs

A traditional fine-art lithograph is one of several types of prints created by hand directly by the artist.
In this respect it is similar to an etching or a woodcut; the artist cuts or draws the image directly into
the medium of the copper plate, the block of wood or, in lithography, the flat limestone slab. In the
case of lithography, it is customary for a master printer to then hand-print the edition under the close
supervision of the artist. This is done one copy at a time. In modern practice, the artist limits and
numbers the edition of images printed so collectors have a clear idea of its size.

Melinda Miles created eleven such lithographic prints. However only six were fully editioned.
The following pages explain the particulars:

The six lithographs Melinda grouped under the title Curio: Curio Lithographs

The two lithographs she created with a train theme: Train Lithographs

A lithograph titled Meditation: Meditation

A lithograph with a self-portrait element: Symmetries with Face

A lithograph with only one single copy extant: Curve in the Tracks

will help fund that effort. Therefore, we feel justified in extending special pricing to those who
wish to participate. The prices on the above-linked pages are for a single image, which comes
with its linen folio. In an order for multiple lithograph images, we will discount as follows:

Two to three = 10%
