FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to present an authentic vintage (NOT a modern reprint) 1934 sheet fed photogravure plate produced from the original negative/print by the internationally renowned photographer Man Ray. One of the most historically significant photographic artists of the 20th century, Man Ray's iconic images are held in important collections and museums throughout the world. This sheet fed gravure print was originally issued as part of a now scarce, spiral bound photogravure portfolio of Man Ray's work, engraved and printed in 1934 by the highly regarded Neogravure engraving house in Paris, France. Whether you collect vintage photogravure prints or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this atmospheric vintage photogravure will frame and display beautifully!

This vintage photogravure print 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 tight "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a quality sheet fed photogravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on 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 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.
