At the end of the 19th century Amand Durand and other artisans developed the use of photogravure to reproduce etchings with remarkable clarity.   Anders Zorn, the Swedish painter and etcher, has captured his model at the very moment when she slips out of her robe, letting it fall to the ground, prior to posing for the artist. This was one of the 12 photogravures printed by Waterlow & Sons, London in 1925 for the third of the Modern Masters of Etching series of books published by the Studio. The photogravure is 9 x 6 inches. Tipped onto a backing sheet. The logo of The Studio is in the lower margin - a necessary element as these photogravures are often passed off as original etchings. Photogravures are the best way to reproduce etchings - a photograph of an actual etching was transferred to  plate prepared similarly, etched in acid and then printed one at a time using an etching press.
