Jean Cocteau Yousuf Karsh Portrait 1949 Photogravure Photo Art Print Poet Painter Writer Producer Playwright  Authorized

Print is in great condition, very minor imperfections. It measures 9 3/8" x 11 3/4". Please see photos for details. Original photo was taken in 1949. This licensed and authorized reproduction print of the original portrait was carefully removed from the book Yousuf Karsh Portraits of Greatness. It was made in 1961 using soft inks and sheet-fed gravure processing and represents a unique achievement in the history of printing. International collaboration was required to represent Karsh's art as faithfully as possible. Canada, Great Britain, Holland, and France teamed up to face this challenge and faithfully represented Karsh's extraordinary range of tones. The result is so close to the quality of Karsh's original mat-finish prints, Karsh himself noted, "for the first time the photographs that have been my life's work were reproduced by a mechanical process with complete fidelity." The surface of these prints is very delicate therefore should not be touched.
