Mount Monda Crossing River Watt.

Scarce c.19th colour lithograph view of Mount Monda, Victoria made in 1889.

Mount Monda is within the Yarra Ranges National Park in south Victoria.

This was one of the first examples of the new printing technique of photo lithography. In this method the plate was photo sensitised and the image was then transferred by photography. The plate then was inked and printed in the traditional way.
