A lithograph that seems to have first appeared in 1870 (Figuier 1870), which depicts an Ice Age artist working on the engraving of a plaquette as if it were propped up on an easel. Note that this lithograph was made some nine or more years prior to the “discovery” of the first cave paintings (Altamira, 1879), but during the time when painting was considered the most elevated of the arts.
