Exhibition: Stone, Paper, Lithography: A Technical and Artistic Adventure

" Discover the history of lithography through the works of lithographers from Guebwiller, Mulhouse, and Paris, which capture the landscapes and transformations of Alsace in the 19th century. "

September 17, 2026, through March 15, 2027 Neuenburg Castle A stone, a sheet of paper, a little ink, and a chemical reaction: that’s the magic of lithography. Invented in Germany, this printing technique took its first steps in Alsace in the 19th century thanks to the famous Mulhouse native Godefroy Engelmann. Allowing for the reproduction of images in multiple copies, it experienced considerable growth, both artistically and practically, and soon found its way into the press, publishing, and both administrative and official documents. In Guebwiller, the first workshop was established not far from Neuenbourg Castle, paving the way for three lithographers, some of whose works are on display in this exhibition. From Paris to Mulhouse, the artists invite you to explore the full beauty of a region in transition, featuring monuments, landscapes, and industrial growth. Exhibition organized by the “Pays d’art et d’histoire” Department of the Guebwiller Regional Community of Communes.
