GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In 1930 Edward G. Eisenlohr, an accomplished painter and draftsman, produced his first lithograph. Lithography provided him with yet another medium in which to experiment with depth and texture. Eisenlohr's prints translate the exquisite draftsmanship and precise observation of nature that characterize his drawings. In his lithographs he continued to explore the expressive possibilities of landscapes in North Texas and New Mexico.

NOTES
Same general description used for all Eisenlohr lithographs. (1940.5, 1960.31, 1986.88, 1986.89, 1986.90, 1986.91, 1991.360.1, 1991.360.2, 1991.360.3, 1991.360.4, 1991.360.5, 1991.360.6)
1930- Year Eisenlohr begins making lithographs. His printer was Thomas Cuno of Philadelphia. His first lithograph edition was 35 impressions, after that he made editions of 50.
- This basic information on Eisenlohr's printmaking career comes from Sara Woodbury research notes (2011, in object file). Woodbury's citation- Diana Church, Accommodation in Dallas: Edward G. Eisenlohr (1872-1961), master's Thesis (University of Texas at Dallas, December 1987), 45.
- I did a quick search for "Thomas Cuno" related to lithography, printmaking, or Philadelphia. I believe the correct attribution for Eisenlohr's printer would more likely be Theodore Cuno, a printer active 1891-1991 (as listed in the Smithsonian American Art Museum online collection). Other online gallery records mention Cuno prints having a blind stamp on the lower edge of the work.
Date- 1930-1933 because he began lithography in 1930 and the print was included in an exhibition in 1933.
Changed object name from print to lithograph. Medium remains as lithograph, but should be considered as an example of how works on paper-prints cataloguing procedures could change to list ink on paper as the medium and the type of print as the object name.
