Prague and Lithography, senefelder On-line gallery, postcards with old stamps, culture, collecting postcards: "He established this site to honour the inventor of lithography, off-set nowadays, Aloys Senefelder, who was born in Prague in 1771"
This is written on the site on Prague postcards and is true, to amdend a bit, his father was an actor and the family a rather large one was staying in Prague in the 1771 because his father was performing here in the Stavovske divadlo in English perhaps The Higher Estates Theater placed conveniently in the same street where the Senefelder's lived - in Rytirska ulice - Knight Street. And he was baptized with Vltavas water as me but a bit later and given the following names:_ Alois, Franz, Jonann-Nepomuck the latter one is to honour the Czech Martyr who was tortured and his body thrown in the river Moldau, Vltava king's personal confessor. And that was on 6 November 1771. a few historic facts in addition to the homepage.
