This is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1959 photogravure (also known as a héliogravure) by the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. This vintage sheet fed gravure plate was engraved and printed in quality photogravure by the highly regarded engraving house of Joh. Enschedé en Zonen, Haarlem, Netherlands in 1959. The paper is of fine quality and the prints themselves are simply beautiful to behold. Karsh himself wrote the following words regarding these richly crafted photogravures: "for the first time the photographs that have been my life's work were reproduced by a mechanical process with complete fidelity. So true is the result, indeed, that friends have said they find it difficult to distinguish between these photogravure plates and the hand-printed originals from my darkroom. The production of these plates involved considerable technical achievement. But technology is only a means to an end. More significant and gratifying to me is that many thousands of people, who previously may not have seen an original Karsh photographic print but had to rely on the often inadequate reproduction of standard printing methods, were now able to see the fine details, the subtle graduations, the delicate nuances which reveal underlying character". Yousuf Karsh's iconic photographic portraits are held in museums and important photography collections throughout the world. This vintage photography print is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed Gallery Certified CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Fine Photo Galleries Archive & Database.
