An original vintage photogravure (1960’s)featuring an image by the famous portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh. This is a richly detailed high quality photogravure print on uncoated matte paper, blank on reverse.
For sale is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1960s photogravure (also known as a héliogravure) by the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. This vintage sheet-fed gravure plate was originally issued as part of a now rare bound photogravure portfolio, engraved and printed in quality photogravure. The paper is of fine quality and the prints themselves are beautiful. Karsh himself wrote the following words regarding these richly crafted photogravures: "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 graduationsc, the delicate nuances which reveal underlying character". Yousuf Karsh's iconic photographic portraits are held in museums and important photography collections throughout the world.
