This is
an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1959 photogravure (also known as a héliogravure) by the
internationally renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. This
vintage
sheet fed gravure plate was originally printed in quality
photogravure by the highly regarded engraving house of Joh. Enschedé en Zonen, Haarlem, Netherlands in 1959.
The paper is of fine quality and the prints themselves are simply
beautiful to behold. 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 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.
This
photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Archive & Database. Under
magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform
pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high
quality sheet fed gravure plate. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.
READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive 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.
