Offering an original vintage Photogravure of a Pierre Boucher Photo "Maurice Baquet" 1938. This sheet fed gravure was printed in France in 1985. The image is 8x10" and is professionally wax tissue heat mounted on 12x16" acid free conservation board, suitable for framing and display. It is a standard frame size, for "ready made" or custom framing. This is a vintage photogravure and not a modern reproduction.
Pierre Boucher (1908-2000) Studied at the School of Applied Arts in Paris. He has experimented with a wide range of techniques including photomontage, motion, photograms, solarization and sandwiched negatives. Along with Rene Zuber, he helped found the Alliance-Photo Agency in 1934.
A photogravure is the most sophisticated of the photomechanical printing processes. The image isn't made in a darkroom. Rather, the photographer's negative is transferred onto a copper plate, which is used to print or engrave the image with ink. Photogravures have a very sensual, almost velvety quality, and were far superior to alternative photomechanical processes of the time. Vintage Photogravures are very collectible and a way to enjoy vintage photography.
