This is an authentic, vintage (NOT a modern reprint) 1955 Photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) by the renowned British photographer John Everard. In the early 1950's Everard and his wife Jane embarked on a photographic journey through North Africa and Asia with the goal of capturing the exotic beauty and variety of the Asian female in the nude. The trip covered over 40,000 miles and much of the travel was by boat - taking almost one full year to complete. This fine nude study was from that early 1950's photographic journey through the Orient. Printed on heavy satin/matte finish stock, this photogravure is blank on the reverse side. The prints were etched and made by the highly respected London engraving house of Jared & Sons Ltd. of Great Britain. Whether you collect vintage photogravure prints or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this authentic vintage photogravure print will frame and display beautifully!
Critically acclaimed throughout his career, John Everard created masterful art deco style photographs of the nude female form from the 1930's through the 1950's. Everard worked for a time in partnership with photographers Horace Roye and Walter Bird - with the London based trio specializing in fine art nudes. A true master of lighting and composition, Everard's nude studies were well known for both technical precision and artistic beauty. Today his work is sought after by collectors and held in numerous important collections throughout the world. Please note that a computer scan cannot render nor do justice to the beauty, detail and subtle tonality of the actual print.

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 its 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 renowned photographic masters have published their images in
the rich photogravure process.
