Lithographic printer.

Kistler began working in the plant of his father, Will A. Kistler, and developed many advances in the use of the offset press. The Kistler Studio of Lithography, Los Angeles, was established to help artists cultivate the extensive possibilities of aluminum and zinc plates in color lithography. Jean Charlot was a lithographer and muralist who began his collaboration with Kistler in the 1930s. Their close association in the development of color lithography, and their friendship is reflected in these papers. Charlot went to Hawaii in 1949 to do a mural commission. He remained there until his death in 1979.
