Printmaking saw a unique style emerge during the Victorian times. Print shops would use posters showcasing an extremely wide variety of fonts to advertise their customization capabilities. However, lithography soon became just as popular as the traditional printing press method. Lithography firms were made up of many individual artists working towards one final piece. Artisans would use chemical reactions to etch visuals and lettering onto large stones that were then inked. This process also allowed for a great blending and layering of colored inks on the stone.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

During this time period, the novel became the most popular form of literature to consume. Gothic themes, realism, and melodramas were the most popular genres. These stories included dramatic characters of heroes and villains. Poetry was another form of media that was popular, specifically in the romance genre. The Victorian era saw works of many famous authors, including Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and Bram Stoker. Victorian literature continues to be influential today as these authors&#8217; legacies live on through their writing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
