Print from plate and table next to burning house (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lithograph

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'print' is the definition.
(I know that lithograph is a more specific form of the action print)

'plate and table next to burning house' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'plate' could be 'l' (from the L-plate that Learner drivers use) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'house' could be 'ho' (abbreviation for house) and 'ho' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lithograph that I've seen before include "illustration" , "Type of print" .)
