This is an authentic, vintage (NOT a modern reprint) 1940 Art Deco Photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) by the renown British photographer John Everard.
Classic art deco design elements are evident in this beautiful nude
study by the deco era photographer known for his artistic renderings of
the nude. This
photogravure is printed on heavy satin/matte finish stock and is blank
on the reverse side. The prints were etched and made by the highly respected London engraving house of John Swain & Sons Ltd.
Critically acclaimed throughout his career, John
Everard created
masterful art deco style photographs of the nude female form during the
1930's and 1940's. Everard worked for a time in partnership with Horace Roye and Walter Bird - the London based trio specialized 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. His nudes from the
1930's in any form (silver gelatin or photogravure) have now become
particularly scarce. Please note that a computer scan cannot render nor
do justice to the beauty, detail and subtle tonality of the actual
print.
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 print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.
READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine
prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent
vintage prints for framing and/or display.
ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure (also known as Heliogravure)
is an intaglio printmaking 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 renown photographic masters have published their images in
the rich photogravure process.
