*** This Vintage 1959 Photogravure Comes Professionally Dry Mounted On 11 x 14 inch White Archival Presentation Mat Board And Is Ready To Place In A Standard Size Frame.
FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to present an authentic (NOT a modern reprint), vintage 1959 sheet-fed photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) from an image by the renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. This richly crafted photogravure comes from a suite of photogravures produced in 1959 of which Karsh wrote the following words: "For the first time the photographs that have been my life's work were reproduced by a mechanical process with complete fidelity. So true is the result, indeed, that friends have said they find it difficult to distinguish between these photogravure plates and the hand-printed originals from my darkroom. The production of these plates involved considerable technical achievement. But technology is only a means to an end. More significant and gratifying to me is that many thousands of people, who previously may not have seen an original Karsh photographic print but had to rely on the often inadequate reproduction of standard printing methods, were now able to see the fine details, the subtle graduations, the delicate nuances which reveal underlying character". Yousuf Karsh's iconic photographic portraits are held in museums and important photography collections throughout the world.

FINEST QUALITYThis vintage photo-gravure print was printed in 1959 by Joh. Enschede en Zonen, Haarlem in the Netherlands from the original negative/master print. Whether you collect vintage photogravure prints or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this authentic vintage photogravure will frame and display beautifully! ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE Photogravure is an intaglio print making process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative. This precisely etched plate combined with a fine "honeycomb" screen controls the amount of ink to be transferred to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making.CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITYThis photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signedCERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive &Database. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY The labor intensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame.
