Etymonline
Word Origin & History
lithography
1813, from Ger. Lithographie (c.1804), coined from Gk. lithos "stone" + graphein "write." The original printing surfaces were of stone. Process invented 1796 by Alois Senefelder of Munich (1771-1833). Hence, lithograph "a lithographic print," a back-formation first attested 1828. Earlier senses, now
EXPAND obsolete, were "description of stones or rocks" (1708) and "art of engraving on precious stones" (1730).
