FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) genuine 1960 sheet fed photogravure plate by the renowned American photographer Irving Penn. One of the most significant photographic artists of the 20th century, Penn's iconic portrait, fashion and still life images are held in important collections and museums throughout the world. This sheet fed photogravure was engraved and printed in quality sheet fed photogravure by the highly regarded Swiss engraving house of C.J. Bucher Ltd.. The piece has been professionally dry mounted with archival materials onto conservation mat board and ready for a standard frame. It is a striking image which will frame and display beautifully.
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 "Fine Photo Galleries" does not appear on the actual print.
