PHOTOGRAVURE 

PRINT OF FINE ART

This 116 year old photogravure print is from "CHEFS-D'OEVRE PEINTURE, SCULPTURE, ARCHITECTURE" under the direction of M. Henry Jouin.  It was published by Maison Braun et Cie, Paris  in 1895.

Photogravure is an intaglio printmaking or photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio print that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph.

The earliest forms of photogravure were developed in the 1830s by the original pioneers of photography itself, Henry Fox Talbot in England and Nicéphore Niépce in France. They were seeking a means to make prints that would not fade, by creating photographic images on plates that could then be etched. The etched plates could then be printed using a traditional printing press. These early images were among the first photographs, pre-dating daguerreotypes and the later wet-collodion photographic processes. Fox Talbot worked on extending the process in the 1850s.

Because of its high quality and richness, photogravure was used for both original fine art prints and for photo-reproduction of works from other media such as paintings.

This photogravure print is in very good condtion with some minor age toning and foxing with rough edges. It is on Japan paper and the plate indentation is significant. It is about 13" x 10" with the image about 11" x 9".  This print is rare and I have not found one for sale on the Internet. Along with the print you will recieve the write up on the painting (in French). This print is suitable for framing and would be an excellent gift.

The fine art print that is being offered is entitled "L'EMBARQUEMENT POUR CYNTHERE" by ANTOINE WATTEAU
