FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to present an authentic (NOT a modern reprint), vintage 1966 sheet-fed photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) from an image by German born, American photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt. It was created from the original negative/print. One of the most prolific and historically important photographers of the 20th century, Eisenstaedt achieved prominence as a photojournalist and worked as a staff photographer for Life Magazine from 1936 to 1972. He achieved widespread acclaim for his human interest photographs, candid images of celebrities and news events.
A pioneer in the use of "miniature cameras", Eisenstaedt primarily used smaller cameras and natural lighting as opposed to the bulky 4 x 5 cameras with flash attachments most press photographers and photojournalists of the day favored. Today he is considered one of the great photographers of the 20th century with his work is held in important collections and museums throughout the world.

pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a quality
sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.

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

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. OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU: We don't just want to meet your expectations, we want to exceed them with each and every purchase! We
