TAMARIND LITHOGRAPHY WORKSHOP, INC.

DEFINITION OF CHOPS

As more and more Tamarind-produced lithographs find their way into museum collections and art galleries, the need for defining the chops (or drystamps) which appear on these prints becomes apparent.

[[image]] This is the chop of the TAMARIND LITHOGRAPHY WORKSHOP and appears on all prints produced under its aegis.

When a Tamarind printer-fellow demonstrates that he is able to print an edition of professional calibre, he is given his own chop which, from then on, is embossed on those editions for which he is responsible. Therefore, each Tamarind print produced thus far bears the chop of one of the following printers:
