in vintage photogravures and photographs for over 25 years, we have
acquired a significant collection and inventory of vintage prints which
we maintain in two separate West Florida archive locations. To
supplement and replenish those holdings we are regularly acquiring new
collections and portfolios from around the world as opportunities
present themselves. As a result of this ongoing procurement of vintage
materials, when we feel we are "deep enough" in specific areas we will
be open to accept offers which are reasonably close to the listing price of an item. So,
if you decide to use the Best Offer option in those listings which
contain one and make us a reasonable offer, we will do our best to
accept.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. In the early to mid 1900's photogravure was selected
(when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and
portfolio projects, but due to it's significant expense and labor, the
process is rarely seen today. From
Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the
world's most renown photographic masters have published their images in
the rich photogravure process.
