This is an authentic (NOT a computer scanned reprint), genuine 1966 photogravure (also known as héliogravure) from the original negative by the American photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn. In the early part of the 20th century Coburn achieved widespread recognition for his photography and was a close colleague of both Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. He became the first major photographer to emphasize the visual potential of elevated viewpoints and later made some of the first completely abstract photographs. Coburn became well known for his portraits of important European and American authors, artists and statesmen, including Henri Matisse, Henry James, Auguste Rodin, George Bernard Shaw, Mark Twain, Theodore Roosevelt and Yeats. Today Alvin Langdon Coburn photographs are held in numerous important collections throughout the world.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure is an intaglio print making 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 renowned photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process. ***WARNING: The above listing description is COPYRIGHT protected material under United States & International Copyright & Intellectual Property laws.
