This black and white studio photograph, taken by David Christensen in 2026 for his 'Plattenkalk' series, presents a lithography stone marked by extensive use. The stone's surface is covered with a dense network of scratches, some appearing as fine lines, others as deeper gouges, alongside patches of white residue. A prominent chip on the upper left edge reveals the internal structure of the material. The image documents the physical history and material qualities of the lithography stone.
