With the woodcut graphic art became mechanically reproducible for the first time...

...During the Middle Ages engraving and etching were added to the woodcut;
at the beginning of the nineteenth century lithography made its appearance.
With lithography the technique of reproduction reached an essentially new stage...lithography enabled graphic art to illustrate everyday life, and it began
to keep pace with printing. But only a few decades after its invention, lithography was surpassed by photography...

...just as lithography virtually implied the illustrated newspaper, so did photography foreshadow the sound film.

-Walter Benjamin, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
