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. Whether you collect vintage photogravure prints or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this authentic vintage 1966 photogravure will frame and display beautifully!
This vintage 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 Vintage Archive &
Database. Under
magnification this plate shows a very fine "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform
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.
