The image shows a drawing of a printing press. The press has a long lever on the left side that extends up at an angle. A flat surface with a lip on the right side is open, revealing a tray inside. Two weights, one spherical and one bell-shaped, hang from the sides. The press sits on a table with legs and has a frame around it. The drawing is on aged paper with brown spots and a rough edge. The paper is off-white and has a darker border around the edges. The background behind the paper is gray. The text "Art of the Lithograph: Printing Press by Alois Senefelder" relates to the image.
