The issue is likely to sss and Wladzislaw, as specialists in the printed schedule, which has already explained a lot.
Perhaps the only thing that I was not clear.

(More experienced when printing, offset prints are just as autolithography such and such "for a low price, which in my opinion discredits autolithography, among which are his masterpieces, and each of which is essentially the original (if color, then a unique) keeping the energy alive, direct contact with the artist (sorry, again pathos, but it's true ..)
PS now trying to fight for good autolithographies Lansky German auction, if successful, would be happy)

Autolithography and lithography - is the same. I have not seen anywhere except B. USSR, the term "autolithography. This is a kind of local specialties. Maybe used to distinguish it from lithographic illustrations in books. A autolithography "- as it is a complete separate copyright work of art. However, in Germany and France came out a lot of magazines and books with the included copyright lithographs and engravings. In one of the numbers of "Apollo" were colored engravings copyrights Falileeva.

Lithograph made by the author and is autolithography. It may be signed, signed and numbered or signed, the prices because of this differ.

True, there is a refinement of deception when making a real lithograph of a painting by famous artist, I already wrote that such "lithographs by Chagall" a lot on eBay.
