Printing Technique  Specifications:

•  A  photo-gravure is a photographic image produced from an  engraving  plate. The process is rarely used today due to the costs   involved, but it produces prints which have the subtlety of a   photograph and the art quality of a lithograph.
• In essence, the production of a photo-gravure consists of  three  steps: taking the picture, producing a printing plate of  the image  and printing the image on paper. Glass photographic  positives are  transferred onto copper plates and from the copper  plates to the  paper.
• A photo-gravure looks like a photograph but is a series of   connected lines, rather than unconnected dots as in a printed   photograph. It is still the most accurate technique for  capturing  all the details. The rich ink and paper used for this album's  photogravures,  besides the technique, are  definitive elements in  the production of these  wonderful photographic plates.
